“Trees” at Alice Tully Hall

Oscar-nominated filmmaker Sam Green joins forces with Pulitzer Prize–winning composer and Juilliard Arnhold Creative Associate Caroline Shaw and National Book Critics Awardee and environmentalist Rebecca Solnit in the latest of his singular, yet collective, live cinema experiences featuring a live score performed by the Juilliard Orchestra.

In Green’s works, documentary film meets live original scores with Green’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, the silent witnesses to all of humanity across countless events and generations—putting humanity’s place into perspective. Featuring actress Judi Dench, artist Ersin Ersin (aka Marshmallow Laser Feast), scientists, and stories from around the world, Trees marks Green’s most ambitious film yet.

Tickets for this event are not yet on sale. Please check back January 21 at noon for availability.
