The Cathance River Education Alliance
and Project Learning Tree are
excited
to be part of Frontier’s programming
of PLAY AGAIN during Earth
Week,
Thursday, April 26th at 8 PM
PLAY
AGAIN is an award winning documentary directed by Tonje Hessen Schei, produced
by Meg Merrill, and edited by David Bee. The soundtrack includes music from
Icelandic band Sigur Ros and singer Kimya Dawson.
At
a time when children spend more time in the virtual world than the natural
world, PLAY AGAIN unplugs a group of media savvy teens and takes them on their
first wilderness adventure, documenting the wonder that comes from time spent in
nature and inspiring action for a sustainable future.
This
film encourages individuals, families, schools, and communities to examine their
relationships with both screen technology and nature, and inspires them to take
action to reconnect children to the natural world.
With
multiple showings Thursday, April 26 - Sunday, April 29, this is Southern
Maine’s chance to check out the film that has been making its way into school
programming across the state. Following the opening Thursday night 8pm screening
will be a post film Skype Q&A discussion with Outreach Coordinator Greg
Lemieux as well as discussion hosted by the supporting groups. The Cathance
River Education Alliance and Project Learning Tree will have displays that raise
awareness about their organizations and will be there to answer questions.
“We love what we know. If we don’t know about our nearby nature, or have a connection, it will certainly be more difficult be for policies that are good for our environment to occur in the future. It is because people played outside and appreciated their wild spaces that we now have a variety of policies, protected spaces, and trails for future generations to enjoy. “Play Again” helps cultivate this important discussion.” – Rick Wilson
