The towering redwood forests of Northern California are among nature’s most magnificent spectacles. Through the prism of Indigenous wisdom, scientific discovery, and artistic expression, this film illuminates the mysteries of these colossal beings: their impressive endurance, of more than 2,000 years, and their distinctive adaptive mechanisms, including innate defenses against wildfires. Director Lisa Landers captures the awe-inspiring scenery with magnificent cinematography, enhanced by state-of-the-art animation techniques which vividly bring the forests’ inner world to life.
Presented by the California Film Institute, DocLands Documentary Film Festival brings compelling stories and the provocative insights behind them to Marin County, California. Expanding upon the exchange of ideas and inspiration through public screenings and engaged conversations, DocLands aims to bring diverse communities together for dialogue and build an active, inclusive, and fully supportive community around documentary film. Dedicated to initiating connections and partnerships that will illuminate and invigorate the business and art of non-fiction filmmakers.
