Description

Filmed in one of the oldest forests in Lithuania, THE ANCIENT WOODS describes a place where boundaries of time melt and everything that exists does not wither or age but “grows into” eternity. This poetic and atypical nature film takes its viewers on a journey from the forest thickets to the wolves’ caves and up to the black stork’s nest, and down to the depths of the underwater forest - and, finally, to the human beings on the wood's edge. There is no commentary, only the rich, almost palpable sounds of the forest and the magical situations captured by the camera.

Dialogue: Experimenting and Examining Structure

Wednesday, April 17 3:00P at The Roxy

This session will examine the ability to challenge the expected yet stay true to wildlife, science, ethics, and craft within this genre. How can structures and stories challenge the classic mold and stand out in the herd? We will discuss the film, Ancient Woods, as a group and will touch on how the structure differs in relation to classic structures in wildlife film.
