Trees: A Live Cinema Documentary

Oscar nominated filmmaker Sam Green joins New World Symphony for the latest of his singular yet collective live cinema experiences, created in collaboration with Pulitzer Prize winning Composer Caroline Shaw and environmentalist Rebecca Solnit.

In Green’s works, documentary film meets live original scores with the director’s own live narration. TREES is a profoundly moving, “unique and ephemeral” (The New York Times) study of humankind’s relationship to our Earthly cohabitants. Because so much of what you’ll experience happens live, each screening of TREES is different from the last.

Featuring actress Judi Dench, artist Ersin Han Ersin (aka Marshmallow Laser Feast), scientists and stories from around the world, TREES marks Green’s most ambitious film yet.
