Event Description
You can't plant a tree without believing in the future. Free film screening at the MAG of Forest For The Trees by Rita Leistner! 🎞️
Produced in complement with The Tree Planters exhibition and the book Forest for the Trees – The Tree Planters, this visually and artistically unique documentary explores the physical and emotional aspects of a community of West Coast tree planters. Deftly weaving together still photos and film footage, Rita Leistner, an award-winning photographer, photojournalist, filmmaker and erstwhile tree planter, depicts the contradictions in the experiences of the tree planters—the hardship and the healing; the solitude and the joy of belonging—creating an eloquent cinematic metaphor for the human condition.
Join us at the MAG on June 6 at 12:30pm! Free to attend, and everyone welcome. Stay after for the artist's talk and tour on the same day (June 6) starting at 2pm!
