Of all the short films we saw last night, our hands-down favorite was Naming Pluto. This little ditty (starring, among others Dr. Allan Chapman, from my Oxford days!) explores the events leading to the naming of the planet Pluto. At age 11, Venetia Phair suggested the name. On her 89th birthday (in 2007), 77 years after Pluto's discovery, she views the planet for the first time. Her response, "I can't say that i was dazzled."
"Imagine Science Film Festival"
Definitely have to see it.
