Join cast, crew and screening partners Ashland Parks & Recreation and Ashland Independent Film Festival on Friday, October 30, 2026 for a special Bat Week event: the Oregon Premiere of The Invisible Mammal, the award-winning feature documentary about bat conservation.

Against the backdrop of the sixth mass extinction, an all-woman team of biologists set out to save bats from a deadly fungal disease. But when the COVID-19 pandemic interrupts their work, they are sent down a path of discovery that illuminates the connections between bat conservation and preventing the spread of infectious disease.

Meet director Kristin Tièche, editor Heidi Zimmerman, and castmember Dr. Alice Chung-MacCoubrey.
