FORT BRAGG, CA., 9/4/24 – Forestry and logging go together with Mendocino County.
To further explore the deep and complex relationship that humans have with forests, particularly those whose livelihoods rely on it, the Larry Spring Museum presents the documentary film Silvicoa in partnership with the Mendocino Film Festival.
The showing takes place at Coast Cinemas on September 12 and includes a panel discussion after the viewing.
Here’s the official announcement:
The Larry Spring Museum of Common Sense Physics, in partnership with the Mendocino Film Festival, is proud to present Silvicola, a documentary that explores the human impact on forests through breathtaking vistas and poignant vignettes set in Canada’s Pacific Northwest. Â
The screening will take place on Thursday, September 12 at 7pm at Coast Cinemas, 135 S Franklin St, Fort Bragg. Tickets are $15.00 and are available at the Mendocino Film Festival’s Website.
Silvicola is a story told through the eyes of an eclectic mix of characters whose lives and livelihoods are intimately entangled with the forest. Our hope is that the film and the panel discussion that follows will act as a catalyst for our community to connect with the uncertainties expressed in the film through discussion and creativity.
The showing is a part of Larry Spring Museum’s Redwood Time Project. Redwood Time proposes a radical re-reading of the monumental Redwood Round that stands at the heart of Fort Bragg, drawing into question our notions of individuality as we link ourselves together with complex histories, ecosystems and multi-species inhabitants.
Will the discussion be recorded?
