Film screening of Unconformity and moderated conversation with Jonathan DiMaio ’09, writer and director of the film

An ambitious, rock-climbing geology student defies her imperious advisor to travel to the Nevada high desert, where a career-defining discovery and an unexpected friendship with a young cattle rancher force her to make life-altering decisions. Unconformity is the story of a friendship tested in the American West, framed by geology, rock climbing, land rights, exploitation in academia, and the climate crisis.

Jonathan DiMiao ’09 is a filmmaker and cofounder of the education nonprofit Yspaniola, which began as an undergraduate student group at Yale. His feature-length and short films have played at prominent festivals in the U.S. and Europe.
