We are thrilled to partner with Vashon Film Institute for a showing of "Silent Friend" on July 7th at the Vashon Theatre!

On the grounds of a medieval German university town looms an imposing Ginkgo biloba, a tree whose longevity stands in marked contrast to three intimate, human-scaled stories. Three epochs, three personalities, three sometimes clumsy but sincere attempts to free themselves and to create links with the plants and the world of the garden.

Silent Friend is a film described as "beautiful, elusive, and peppered with provocative nuggets about the nature of life and our place in it" and has received widespread critical acclaim. It recently screened at the Seattle International Film Festival and festivals across the globe, including Cannes, Venice, and Toronto. 

The film starts at 7:15 pm, and VFI is graciously accepting donations for the Land Trust at the screening. This is a great way to support the Land Trust's work and ground oneself in nature through the power of storytelling!
