Celebrate World Soil Day with a special screening of Fungi: the Web of Life, a fascinating documentary delving into the secret world of fungi.
Narrated by Björk, the film follows acclaimed British biologist, Dr. Merlin Sheldrake, is on a quest to find an incredibly precious blue mushroom, against the backdrop of Tasmania’s ancient Tarkine rain forest. Merlin will show us some the grandest and strangest organisms ever discovered, showcased through jaw-dropping time-lapse cinematography, in a landscape largely 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 world of fungi has only just begun.
The film will be preceeded by a recorded Q&A with Merlin Sheldrake and followed by an informal panel discussion with writer and nature photographer Linda Seward and local fungi farmer, Mark Binns.
