Whispers in the Woods, Totnes

Whispers in the Woods

Delving deep into the woodland realms, where lynxes, bears, deer, owls, capercaillies, and other river creatures roam, Vincent Munier not only seeks to pay tribute once again to the visual splendor of nature but also to capture the forest’s poetic sounds. The whispers of the woods are echoing the whispers passed from Munier’s father to himself, and now to his own son. This becomes a heartfelt declaration of Munier’s love for his father, intertwining familial bonds with the untamed beauty of the natural world.

Location:

Join us at the incredible rewilding project of Ambios (situated on the Sharpham Estate in Totnes), to breathe, watch, discuss and eat together in the unique 99p Films model.

We hope to discuss with you what the future of our countryside might look like, and how we all have a say in changing the story- from division, to understanding.

Feast:

Our food this evening will be cooked by Sima from @thekitchentabl, (who also cooks for Ambios' Breaking Bread events) using produce from the Ambios garden and other British grown ingredients. This evening will be not only about discussing how farming can be done better, but championing those that already do great things for all of nature (including us!).

⏰Schedule:

5:30pm - Doors open.
