Event Information
About this Event
Join us in this special event at Lost Eden Creative.
A new documentary film maker by Jane Hammond and Narated by Kelton Pell, highlighting the threats to Western Australia’s native forests and their real value in mitigating climate change will screen at the Lost Eden Creative Gallery in Dwellingup on Saturday November 28.
Cry of the Forests was made by independent East Fremantle-based filmmaker Jane Hammond in partnership with the WA Forest Alliance. It takes viewers to the heart of the south-west forests to see first-hand the threats faced by these critically important ecosystems.“Cry of the Forests includes footage of the rarely seen destruction happening in our forests on a daily basis,” Ms Hammond said.
“The film is a riveting cinematic journey through our stunning forests and their unique wildlife. It is here that the audience is introduced to people risking everything in an effort to protect the forests they love.
“The film showcases the cultural, recreational and eco-tourism values of the south-west forests and their importance to small businesses including bee keeping. But underpinning the entire story is the climate crisis and the message that our forests have a special role to play in mitigating and slowing run-away climate change.
Will we save our forests in time for them to save us?
Also on this special night we will be showcasing "The Universe, Yours to Discover" a collaborative astrophotography exhibition in the Lost Eden gallery.
