Fungi: Web of Life (2023)
Directed by Gisela Kaufmann, Joseph Nizeti, Mike Slee
Approximately Ages 4+, 40 minutes, DCP

Join acclaimed British biologist, Dr. Merlin Sheldrake, on a quest to find an incredibly precious blue mushroom, against the backdrop of Tasmania's ancient Tarkine rainforest. Through the documentary narrated by Björk, Merlin introduces some of the grandest and strangest organisms ever discovered, showcased through jaw-dropping time-lapse cinematography, in a landscape essentially unchanged from the time of the dinosaurs. Fungi have important lessons to teach humanity about survival through cooperation. Indeed, these incredible lifeforms may hold the key to solving some of humanity's most urgent problems. With millions more species to discover, our journey into the secret world of fungi has only just begun.



Nocturnes (2024)

In the dense forests of the Eastern Himalayas, moths are whispering something to us. In the dark of night, two curious observers shine a light on this secret universe. Together, they are on an expedition to decode these nocturnal creatures in a remote ecological hotspot on the border of India and Bhutan. The result is a deeply immersive film that transports audiences to a rarely-seen place and urges us all to look more closely at the hidden interconnections of the natural world.
