Peek at Nature
|
"The Queen of Trees" on September 9
|
Naturequest organises a special screening of a film from Africa, "The Queen of Trees," on September 9, 6.45 p.m. at the Book Point Auditorium, 160, Anna Salai.
The film, made by Mark Deeble and Victoria Stone, which offers a peek at the natural world, is set against Africa and its wildlife. The fig tree and fig wasp differ in size a billion times over, but neither could exist without the other. Their extraordinary relationship is a pinnacle of co-evolution, and the basis of a complex web of dependency that supports animals from ants to elephants. Each fig is a microcosm — a stage set for birth, sex and death as the tiny players battle against predators and parasites to fulfil their mission. About the filmmakers... Mark Deeble and Victoria Stone are a wildlife filmmaking partnership founded in 1984. Their films have won over 100 international awards. The programme is open to all and seating is on a first-come-first-served basis.
