UTAS screening Love Letter to the Unseen
Description
LOVE LETTER TO THE UNSEEN
Join Environment Tasmania and the UTAS Environment Society for this intimate screening event, at Studio Theatre, UTAS Sandy Bay campus. Hear from Scientists and policy experts on what decisions are ultimately failing the Maugean Skate.
Through this film, follow youth conservationist Spencer Hitchen on his journey to understand the imminent threats to the endangered Maugean Skate and the intrinsic beauty of a species that exists both in the real world and in the imaginations of its supporters.
Macquarie Harbour, Tasmania, the sole remaining home of the Maugean skate, is at risk, but there’s still time to act.
A Land and Sea for All film directed by Emmy award-winning filmmaker Josh “Bones” Murphy (ARTIFISHAL, THE SCALE OF HOPE, YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT) made in partnership with Environment Tasmania, Holdfast Collective, Rauch Foundation, and Reichstein Foundation.
Featuring Palawa man Lyndon O’Neil, artist Wendy Edwards, First Dog on the Moon, Andrew Wilkie MP, Youth conservationist Spencer Hitchen and more.
The 60-million-year-old Maugean skate has been around since the time of the dinosaurs. Discovered only in 1988, the skate now faces a ‘very high’ risk of extinction.
Join us! Together we can SAVE THE SKATE and DEMAND NO NEW EXTINCTIONS.
Screened in association with Environment Tasmania and UTAS Environment Society
