On Feb 6th we’re partnering with Portsmouth Community Radio to bring you the 97 minute film – Albatross.
Stepping outside the stylistic templates of traditional environmental or documentary film, ALBATROSS takes viewers on a lyrical guided tour of the deserted Midway Island and the thousands majestic birds that use the island for breeding to deliver a profound message of reverence and renewal. Shot on the island in the remote North Pacific, filmmakers returned over several years to witness cycles of birth, life and death of these creatures in a multi-layered metaphor for our times. The film is a magnificent visual and aural achievement.
ALBATROSS is a powerful journey to one of the remotest Islands on Earth into the heart of environmental tragedy perpetrated by our short-sighted reliance on plastics.
Globally, plastic production has increased by more than 10-fold since 1970, faster than the growth rate of any other group of bulk materials (IEA).
Join the Gundalow, in partnership with Portsmouth Community Radio’s The Environmental Hour in a screening of this powerful film Wednesday evening, February 6, 2019 at WSCA’s Button Factory Stage 909 Islington Street, Portsmouth from 6-9pm. A discussion will follow the film. Refreshments will be available.
