Details
Based on Robert Macfarlane’s bestselling book, this mesmerising documentary journeys into worlds seldom seen by human eyes, beneath the surface of the earth.
Beginning in the shallow soils beneath an old ash tree, we follow ‘astronauts of the underworld’ as they travel into ancient sacred caves, flooded storm drains, melting glaciers, underwater burial chambers and a deep underground laboratory built to solve the mysteries of the Universe.
Narrated by Oscar-nominated Sandra Hüller, and with a uniquely poetic approach, Underland is a deep dive into the Earth that ultimately presents a groundbreaking vision for rethinking our lives on this fragile surface.
The screening on Saturday 4th April will be followed by a recorded Q&A with director Rob Petit and author Robert Macfarlane.
Playing as part of our Subterranea: Tales from Below the Surface season, which journeys underground with a programme of films exploring subterranean spaces.
