Join us for a screening of the short film A Place to Land followed by Preserved. After the screening enjoy a Q&A with the Directors from both films.Â
A Place to Land
A Place to Land follows the transformation of EV and documentary filmmaker Ole Schell’s family cattle ranch in Northern California into a thriving monarch and pollinator sanctuary. The short film offers an intimate look at habitat renewal, community science, and the role of electrification in restoring ecosystems—telling a broader story of resilience and of working in harmony with nature to help bring the monarch butterfly back from the brink.
PreservedÂ
Preserved unveils Vermejo—a 558,000-acre living laboratory where rarely seen wildlife behaviors unfold: bears stealing mountain lion kills, microscopic life thriving in seasonal potholes, and animals adapting to a rapidly changing world. In this feature-length documentary, scientists, ranchers, and conservationists reveal how the seemingly impossible has been achieved here, from North America's largest native trout restoration to the return of beaver, elk, and bison. Rich in discovery and layered with human history, Vermejo stands as the pinnacle of conservation in the U.S.—and a bellwether for what’s possible elsewhere.
