Los Angeles-based filmmaker Brigid McCaffrey and geologist Ren Lallatin join us for today's show to talk about McCaffrey's 2013 film Paradise Springs, which chronicles Lallatin's life and work studying the archeology, seismology and ancient histories of the Mojave Desert.

The film screens alongside some of McCaffrey's other work as part of Ballroom Marfa's  Artists' Film International program this weekend, November 14-15.

The program features other films and video work from artists around the world - from Siberia, Italy, Turkey and beyond.
