RHYTHMS IN NATURE: SHORTS

THE SOUND OF A WILD SNAIL EATING
When a woman is bedridden by a mysterious pathogen, a forest snail unexpectedly takes up residence on her nightstand. Together, the woman and snail share an intimate journey of survival and resilience. A surprising live action story, adapted from the award-winning nonfiction memoir of the same title.

NAMANU RUNI/ALBATROSS ISLAND
Albatross Island is a magical place. Eighteen hectares of conglomerate rock off the north western tip of Tasmania, it is home to 5,200 breeding pairs of albatross. In the 1800s they were harvested to near extinction,  but the population gradually recovered to half the estimated historical size. In recent years, however, the population has begun to again decline.

THE LAST PIG
THE LAST PIG is an achingly beautiful meditation on what it means to be a sentient creature with the power to kill. Deeply immersive and experiential, the film follows a pig farmer through his final year of slaughtering pigs. The bucolic life of the pigs on the farm is ruptured by weekly trips to the slaughterhouse. Through sparse, intimate musings, the farmer reveals his growing conflict of a life spent "peddling in death."


04/19 screening includes a Q&A with the filmmakers of The Last Pig!
