Join the University of Rhode Island’s Graduate School of Oceanography and Rhode Island Sea Grant for a free screening of “The Cigarette Surfboard,” a movie about a young designer who realizes that a surfboard – which he crafted from thousands of littered cigarette butts picked up off California beaches – can captivate the eyes of millions across the globe. Several of the “ciggy boards” will be on display and director Ben Judkins will join a post-film Q&A along with GSO scientists. The event is free and open to the public, but registration is required.
