Pushed Up The Mountain
October 25, 2022 - 1:00pm-3:00pm (ended)

Film screening of Pushed Up The Mountain and conversation with film producer Julia. Popping the Science Bubble, hosts Oxana Andruic and Madison Lehmer will interview the film director Julia Haslett. 

PUSHED UP THE MOUNTAIN is a poetic and personal film about plants and the people who care for them. Through the tale of the migrating rhododendron, now endangered in its native China, the film reveals how high the stakes are for all living organisms in this time of unprecedented destruction of the natural world. Beginning in the Scottish Highlands, in the garden of the filmmaker's godfather, the film travels between conservationists in China and Scotland who devote their lives to the rhododendron’s survival. Patiently observed footage of conservationists at work combines with centuries-old landscape paintings and the filmmaker’s speculative voice to create a thought-provoking film about human efforts to protect nature for and from ourselves.

This film will be screened at the library before the Q&A. The film screening will be at 1pm, the director interview will begin at 2:15pm. Additionally the film can be watched online between Oct 11-Oct 25.
