In collaboration with Yellowstone Forever, the Livingston Film Series is delighted to present a special screening of Brendan Hall’s Out There on Thursday, September 18th. The film begins at 7pm at the Shane Lalani Center for the Arts.
A young filmmaker sets out on a 10,000-mile exploration of the national parks with his childhood friend during the centennial year of the formation of the National Park Service.
Along the way, the two record stories of the people that work in the parks and those that come to enjoy them. What emerges is the rich tapestry of the history of the park system. They hear profound stories of people from all ages, walks of life and cultures that come to the parks seeking tranquility, healing, motivation and connection to the natural world. Between spectacular visuals of the parks and compelling interviews are colorful bits of old maps, posters and travelogues. This stunning road trip is a tribute to the national parks and their history and is also a recognition of the people that appreciate them and work to maintain their beauty.
A post-film discussion will be held with Director Brendan Hall and Yellowstone Forever’s Caroline Jones.
Kicking off its latest season of screening independent features, documentaries, local films and vintage classics, doors open at 6:30pm with screenings to follow at 7pm. Admission is free, but donations are gratefully accepted. Concessions available. For more information, please visit www.
