Canadian Sneak Preview of the new documentary about the past, present and future of Nikola Tesla’s Wardenclyffe lab, where the inventor dreamed of sending free wireless energy from. Following its series of sold out shows in NYC, this will be the only screening in Canada before a European tour begins next year. Featuring interviews with celebrity magician Penn Jillette, The Oatmeal’s Matthew Inman, and Peabody Award-winner Jack Hitt. Features the music of Emmy-nominated composer Marina Arsenijevic. American director Joseph Sikorsk will participate in a Q & A following the screening.
“TOWER TO THE PEOPLE” is the culmination of over 14 years of research into Nikola Tesla’s work conducted by filmmaker/co-author Joseph Sikorski and co/author Michael Calomino. The two-hour documentary details the struggle of the visionary scientist who dreamed of connecting the world while providing wireless energy to even the most remote places on the globe from his Wardenclyffe lab. Though Tesla was forced to abandon his dream there, almost a century later a new generation picked up the torch, hoping to rescue the historic property from decay, and preserve it forever. The tragic narrative of Tesla’ s humanitarian endeavor becomes inspirational through the stories of various groups of dedicated people, who by using technology Tesla himself helped develop, ultimately saved this historic symbol from extinction. From a local non-profit organization, to a popular web-comic known as ‘the Oatmeal’, to the generosity of people throughout the world, “TOWER TO THE PEOPLE-Tesla’s Dream at Wardenclyffe Continues” documents how the world united to correct a great historical injustice, and help vindicate a nearly forgotten inventor’s long, hard struggle.
Featuring interviews with celebrity magician Penn Jillette, the Oatmeal’s Matthew Inman, Tesla relative William Terbo, Peabody Award-Winner Jack Hitt and many other distinguished guests, “TOWER TO THE PEOPLE” shows the mysterious past, uplifting present, and exciting future of Nikola Tesla’s last remaining lab on the planet. The film’s soundtrack features the music of Serbian-born Emmy-nominated Pianist/Composer Marina Arsenijevic.
“TOWER TO THE PEOPLE”, through support by the Nikola Tesla Museum in Belgrade and The Wardenclyffe Project, not only includes iconic Tesla imagery, beautifully restored and in a resolution never seen before, but also shows rare photographs never viewed beyond the elite collection of the Belgrade archives.
Viewers will also experience simple demonstrations of wireless energy and transmission concepts which help to illustrate the scientific principles Tesla intended to use in easy-to-understand language.
Perhaps most intriguing though is the first on-site investigation into the legendary Wardenclyffe tunnels allegedly built by the enigmatic inventor as part of his wireless power transmission method. The existence of these mysterious subterranean passages, dismissed by many as urban myth, are explored through the use of cutting edge ground-penetrating radar. The exciting results of this investigation are revealed for the first time in this exciting new documentary.
The one-night-only event hosted by the Toronto-based publication “TESLA Magazine” begins at 6:30pm at the Regent Theatre, Toronto, 551 Mount Pleasant Road on November 30th, 2014.
