UNDERLAND

The Screening Room

Screening co-presented by Newburyport Art Association, accompanied by live readings from Robert Macfarlane’s bestselling book

Narrated by Oscar-nominee Sandra Hüller, this cinematic adaptation of Robert Macfarlane’s bestselling book voyages into spaces rarely glimpsed by human eyes to explore the world that exists beneath our feet. Beginning in the shallow soils beneath an old ash tree, we travel alongside several “astronauts of the underworld” into sacred ancient caves, flooded storm drains, melting glaciers, underwater burial chambers, and an underground laboratory where scientists are working to solve one of the universe’s great mysteries. A wonder to behold from start to finish, Underland doesn’t shy away from the fear and darkness of the depths it depicts. It also unearths the knowledge and wonder that can be found nowhere else, presenting a groundbreaking vision for rethinking our lives on this fragile surface. Playing like a sprawling epic about the scope of human existence, this is “a sensorial, philosophical experience to be had, preferably in a darkened theater." - ScreenAnarchy * A portion of the proceeds from each ticket goes to support the Newburyport Art Association
