Description

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED.

Sorry for the inconvenience, and thank you for your understanding.

Stay tuned for a new date announcement.


Imagine an organism that feeds you, heals you, reveals secrets of the universe and could help save the planet … today.


When so many are struggling for connection, inspiration and hope, “Fantastic Fungi” brings us together as interconnected creators of our world.


“Fantastic Fungi”, directed by Louie Schwartzberg, is a consciousness-shifting film that takes us on an immersive journey through time and scale into the magical earth beneath our feet, an underground network that can heal and save our planet.


Through the eyes of renowned scientists and mycologists like Paul Stamets, best-selling authors Michael Pollan, Eugenia Bone, Andrew Weil and others, we become aware of the beauty, intelligence and solutions the fungi kingdom offers us in response to some of our most pressing medical, therapeutic, and environmental challenges.


“Fantastic Fungi” is a vivid journey into the mysterious subterranean world of myceliumand its fruit — the mushroom. A story that begins 3.5 billion years ago, fungi makes the soil that supports life, connecting vast systems of roots from plants and trees all over the planet, like an underground Internet.


The film is a blueprint for what connects all humanity and the natural world.


There will be a very special Q&A onscreen with director Louie Schwartzberg, mycologist Paul Stamets and other special global mycelial guests following both screenings of “Fantastic Fungi”.
