Trees — by Sam Green

Oscar-nominated filmmaker Sam Green joins forces with National Book Critics awardee and environmentalist Rebecca Solnit, in the latest of his singular yet collective live cinema experiences. In Green’s works, documentary film meets live original scores with Green’s own live narration. Trees is a profoundly moving, “unique and ephemeral” ( The New York Times ) study of humankind’s relationship to our earthly cohabitants, the silent witnesses to all of humanity across countless events and generations, putting humanity’s place into perspective. Featuring actress Judi Dench, former Poet Laureate of the United States Ada Limon, scientists and stories from around the world, Trees marks Green’s most ambitious film yet.
