New Documentary on the Magic of Mushrooms to Screen in East Van

There’s a special advance screening of Fantastic Fungi at The Rio this week: “Through the eyes of renowned scientists and mycologists like Paul Stamets, best-selling authors Michael Pollan, Eugenia Bone, Andrew Weil and others, we become aware of the beauty, intelligence and solutions the fungi kingdom offers us in response to some of our most pressing medical, therapeutic, and environmental challenges.When so many are struggling for connection, inspiration and hope, Fantastic Fungi brings us together as interconnected creators of our world.”

This film looks beautiful, smart and informative. Make sure you stick around after the show for a discussion with the documentary’s director, Louie Schwartzberg, and special guests.
