But the path to survival is fraught with danger. This heart-expanding Sundance hit introduces audiences to Terry's diminutive patients through breathtaking slow-motion photography and emotional storytelling. Over the course of director Sally Aitken’s moving documentary, we become deeply invested in baby hummingbirds like Cactus and Wasabi, celebrating their tiny victories and lamenting their tragedies. Through Terry's eyes, each bird becomes memorable, mighty, and heroic. Her compassion and empathy serve as a reminder that grace can be found in the smallest of acts and the tiniest of creatures. Winner of the Nantucket Film Festival Adrienne Shelly Excellence in Film Making Award.Teens and young adults are encouraged to attend.We will also be screening Broken Flight directed by Erika Valenciana + Mitchell Wenkus, and one of the One Earth Young Filmmakers winning films The Most Wonderful Choice of the Year by Magnolia Elementary School.Stay after the film for an enlightening facilitated dialogue with relevant experts and advocates.Our Facilitator for the evening will be Nalini Johnson, Sustainability Coordinator, Village of Oak Park, IL.We will also have a brief message from one of our sponsors Laura Guderyahn, Chicago Program Director, Field Museum, Keller Science Action Center.Panelists:Laura Hartwell-Berlin, Board President, West Cook Wild OnesAdrian Ayres-Fisher, Programming &amp; Advocacy Committees, West Cook Wild OnesAdolfo Castrejon, Birder w Westlawn Conservation Club + OpenlandsMitchell Wenkus, Co-Director/Co-Producer, Broken Flight, will also be joining us for the evening alongside Annette Prince, Director, Chicago Bird Collision Monitors as our panelists.ADA-compliant accessible venue.What's cool about this venue/host? The Oak Park Village Hall, located at 123 Madison St., is a notable example of mid-century modern architecture, designed by Harry Weese &amp; Associates and completed in 1975. It reflects brutalist design elements, characterized by its use of exposed concrete and geometric forms. The building was designed with sustainability in mind, featuring passive solar design elements, earth berming, and energy-efficient insulation, which were innovative for its time. Additionally, the site includes native landscaping and a stormwater management system, which are of interest to environmentalists. The Village has continued to integrate sustainability efforts, aligning with Oak Park’s broader environmental policies.<a href="https://www.oneearthfilmfest.org/donate-now" title="https://www.oneearthfilmfest.org/donate-now" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Become a One Earth Film Festival member </a>and be a part of our growing movement!
