Film Screening: Observer the Film with David George Haskell
Trees Atlanta Kendeda TreeHouse
Sat, Apr 26 2:00pm - 5:00pm
Join us for a film screening of Observer at the Kendeda TreeHouse followed by exploration outside led by one of the cast, writer and naturalist David George Haskell. This is a great chance to see something new in our corner of Southwest Atlanta. The first fifty people to register and attend will receive an Observer kit of items hand-picked by the filmmaking team. The kit includes a homemade red square for viewing the world, plus a hand lens, notebook, watercolor kit, pencil, sand timer, dice, and a guide to observation games. Come hone your observational powers during a profound opportunity to exercise your curiosity!
About the film: In Observer, filmmaker Ian Cheney embarks on an experiment in which he brings scientists, artists, and a hunter - to a range of locations around the world, often without telling them where they are going, and asks them simply to describe what they see. What unfolds is a deep exploration and celebration of the power of observation: what happens when you find new ways to sense and perceive the world around you? With customary whimsy and a small painted red square that Cheney brings on every journey, the film is an invitation to viewers to find beauty and meaning anywhere and everywhere.
