Join us after the screening for a Q & A with the filmmakers and Susan Masino. The free screening – with a multisensory experience in the Cinestudio lobby – is sponsored by The Neuroscience Department and Film Studies Program at Trinity College, and Keep the Woods.
A new movie by filmmakers Ray Asselin and Bob Leverett, (Lost Forests of New England), will have its (free!) World Premiere at Cinestudio. Asselin and Leverett document the vital role the white pine played in the history of our country, from the European settling of New England, to the Revolutionary War. The one-hour film covers the pine’s importance to wildlife species (and humans). Mixed in with gorgeous shots of our majestic forests are discussions with old-growth forest expert Bob Leverett, Minnesota bear biologist Lynn Rogers, and Trinity’s very own Professor Susan Masino.
