The movie
What if a tree was watching us as closely as we watch it?
Join us for a screening of Silent Friend, a poetic and thought-provoking film that follows three people, across three generations, whose lives are shaped by the same ancient ginkgo tree. More than a story about nature, it is an invitation to reflect on connection, place and our relationship with the living world.
The film will be introduced by Bond University Indigenous Fellow and philosopher Oscar Davis, with pizza and popcorn provided.
The discussion
The conversation doesn't end when the credits roll.
Join us for a guided discussion exploring the ideas and questions at the heart of Silent Friend. Together we'll reflect on the film's themes of connection, place, belonging and our relationship with the more-than-human world, and consider what they might mean for how we live, learn and care for the world around us.
