Raymond Building Room 2-045
The Lost Bird Project is a documentary about the stories of five birds driven to extinction in modern times and sculptor Todd McGrain’s project to memorialize them. The memorials now stand in the places where the birds once socialized, courted and fed their young — a testament to what we have lost…and a reminder to preserve what we have left. An official selection at the Festival International du Film sur l’Art (FIFA), the film is an elegy to the five birds and a thoughtful and sometimes humorous look at the artist and his mission.
Tickets are $5 (available at the door first come first served). All proceeds will be donated to Le Nichoir.
Parking free after 4 pm. ( Map) We invite everyone to come and see this great film!
