In an animated adventure set in a dystopian steampunk France where the Bonapartes still rule, scientists have mysteriously disappeared for decades: April, brilliant descendant of a long line of chemists, may be next. Directors Christian Desmares and Franck Ekinci have created a sly feminist statement, an ode to science, a plea for world peace — and wildly imaginative entertainment for the whole family. Q&A follows with professors Jane Costlow, environmental studies, and Carolina Valencia Gonzáles, art and visual culture. FMI lballadu@bates.edu. (2015, 104 min.)
