Unlike other robots\, these dinosaurs move\, breathe\, and roar\, appealing to guests of all ages. Dino Safari and the Dinosaur VR film are entertaining while teaching important conservation messages.” \nDino Safari was created by world-renowned dinosaur authority Don Lessem\, founder of Dino Don\, Inc.\, and advisor to Steven Spielberg on Jurassic Park. Lessem has led excavations and reconstructions of some of the world’s largest meat-eating and plant-eating dinosaurs from Patagonia. \n“We have gone to great lengths to ensure the most accurate dinosaur robots in the world\, and dinosaur fans love them\,” said Lessem. \nDino Safari is included with regular Zoo admission. \n  \nNew VR Experience: Dinosaur: Evolution \nResponding to the growing demand for immersive experiences\, Dinosaur: Evolution expands the reach of Immotion in museums\, science centers\, zoos\, and aquariums worldwide. The movie is available at the zoo for an additional charge. \nSet deep in the Hell Creek Formation at the end of the Cretaceous Period\, the film takes viewers on a breathtaking journey through the rise—and dramatic fall—of Earth’s most legendary creatures. Featuring scientifically grounded storytelling and innovative visuals\, the experience blends education with spectacle. \n“Our goal with Dinosaur: Evolution goes beyond delivering an unforgettable experience\,” said Rod Findley\, President & CEO of Immotion. “We’re blending science and spectacle to create engaging content that supports the missions of science museums and centers—where curiosity meets credibility.” \nThe VR experience was created in collaboration with leading paleontologists\, including Phillip Manning (University of Manchester; Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi)\, who also narrates the film. From feathered Dakota raptors to towering Tyrannosaurus rex\, every detail reflects the latest scientific research. \nMore than just a visual thrill\, Dinosaur: Evolution encourages reflection on evolution\, extinction\, and humanity’s connection to life on Earth—drawing timely parallels to modern climate challenges. You may view the trailer here: https://vimeo.com/1097701935 \nImmotion’s award-winning VR experiences are now featured in more than 125 locations worldwide. \nDino Safari will run from March 4 to November 1 and is included in the price of admission to your Birmingham Zoo when it is open.

Presented as part of the Museum’s 75th anniversary\, this cinematic program is organized in partnership with No Longer Silent\, Sleep in Cinema\, and Substrate Radio\, transforming mid-century films into a live\, collaborative experience. \nThe evening will feature a selection of influential works\, including Form Phases IV (1954) by Robert Breer\, Rabbit’s Moon (1950) by Kenneth Anger\, Dom (House) (1959) by Walerian Borowczyk and Jan Lenica\, The Wonder Ring (1955) by Stan Brakhage\, Jackson Pollock (1951) by Hans Namuth\, and Ensemble for Somnambulists (1951) by Maya Deren. Together\, these films reflect a period of bold experimentation across film and visual art. \nEach film will be paired with a newly composed score performed live\, offering a fresh interpretation of these works in the present moment. \nFollowing the screenings will be a panel discussion led by Film Scholar and Co-Host of Substrate Radio’s Sleep in Cinema Gareth Jones in conversation with Wilm\, Pascal\, and Doug Baulos\, Associate Professor of Drawing and Book Making at the University of Alabama Birmingham. \nNo Longer Silent is a Birmingham-based film screening series that pairs historic silent films with original live accompaniment from local musicians to create a one-of-a-kind experience. The series returns to the Museum for its second iteration and has previously been presented at venues across Birmingham\, including Seasick Records\, O’Neal Library\, AEIVA\, Saturn\, and Sidewalk Cinema. Each program concludes with a panel discussion led by local organizations\, offering audiences the opportunity to engage in conversation and reflection inspired by the works on screen. \n\n\n\n\n Register to Attend\n \n\n \n \n\n$10 \n\n \n \n Get Tickets!\n (opens in new window)\n \n \n\n \n \n\nImage caption: Still from Dom (House)\, directed by Walerian Borowczyk and Jan Lenica\, 1959 URL:https://bhamnow.com/bhamn-event/no-longer-silent-experimental-films-of-the-1950s/ CATEGORIES:Film Screening,Fun ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://bhamnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Dom-House-cKqKg9.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260716T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260716T190000 DTSTAMP:20260716T113314Z CREATED:20260708T111829Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260716T113314Z UID:10102745-1784221200-1784228400@bhamnow.com SUMMARY:Jazz Happy Hour with Sandra Simone DESCRIPTION:Another Thursday\, another unforgettable Jazz Happy Hour at the Carver Theatre!  \nJoin us Thursday July 16th from 5–7 PM featuring live music by Sandra Simone.

Unlike other robots\, these dinosaurs move\, breathe\, and roar\, appealing to guests of all ages. Dino Safari and the Dinosaur VR film are entertaining while teaching important conservation messages.” \nDino Safari was created by world-renowned dinosaur authority Don Lessem\, founder of Dino Don\, Inc.\, and advisor to Steven Spielberg on Jurassic Park. Lessem has led excavations and reconstructions of some of the world’s largest meat-eating and plant-eating dinosaurs from Patagonia. \n“We have gone to great lengths to ensure the most accurate dinosaur robots in the world\, and dinosaur fans love them\,” said Lessem. \nDino Safari is included with regular Zoo admission. \n  \nNew VR Experience: Dinosaur: Evolution \nResponding to the growing demand for immersive experiences\, Dinosaur: Evolution expands the reach of Immotion in museums\, science centers\, zoos\, and aquariums worldwide. The movie is available at the zoo for an additional charge. \nSet deep in the Hell Creek Formation at the end of the Cretaceous Period\, the film takes viewers on a breathtaking journey through the rise—and dramatic fall—of Earth’s most legendary creatures. Featuring scientifically grounded storytelling and innovative visuals\, the experience blends education with spectacle. \n“Our goal with Dinosaur: Evolution goes beyond delivering an unforgettable experience\,” said Rod Findley\, President & CEO of Immotion. “We’re blending science and spectacle to create engaging content that supports the missions of science museums and centers—where curiosity meets credibility.” \nThe VR experience was created in collaboration with leading paleontologists\, including Phillip Manning (University of Manchester; Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi)\, who also narrates the film. From feathered Dakota raptors to towering Tyrannosaurus rex\, every detail reflects the latest scientific research. \nMore than just a visual thrill\, Dinosaur: Evolution encourages reflection on evolution\, extinction\, and humanity’s connection to life on Earth—drawing timely parallels to modern climate challenges.
