This screening, presented in collaboration with the Newburyport Art Association, will be accompanied by live readings from Paul Wann, Jonathan Sherwood, & Belle Struck. A portion of each ticket goes to support NAA, and Jabberwocky Books will be selling copies Robert MacFarlane’s bestselling book at the event if you’re inspired to take one home after experiencing the film.
Beginning in the shallow soils beneath an old ash tree, we travel alongside several “astronauts of the underworld” into sacred ancient caves, flooded storm drains, melting glaciers, underwater burial chambers, and an underground laboratory where scientists are working to solve one of the universe’s great mysteries. A wonder to behold from start to finish, Underland doesn’t shy away from the fear and darkness of the depths it depicts. It also unearths the knowledge and wonder that can be found nowhere else, presenting a groundbreaking vision for rethinking our lives on this fragile surface. Playing like a sprawling epic about the scope of human existence, this is “a sensorial, philosophical experience to be had, preferably in a darkened theater." - ScreenAnarchy
