Join us for a special screening of the Academy Award-winning documentary My Octopus Teacher. This breathtaking film follows filmmaker Craig Foster as he forms an extraordinary bond with a wild octopus in a South African kelp forest. Through stunning underwater cinematography and heartfelt storytelling, the documentary explores themes of curiosity, resilience, and the profound connection between humans and nature.

After the screening, stay for a brief discussion to reflect on the film’s themes and its impact. This event is free and open to all—no registration required.
