An immersion into the rich ecosystem of Sable Island, a remote sliver of land in the Northwest Atlantic, the film follows Zoe Lucas, a naturalist and environmentalist who has lived there for over 40 years collecting, cleaning and documenting marine litter that persistently washes up on the island’s shores. Shot on 16mm and created using eco-friendly filmmaking techniques, Geographies of Solitude is a playful and reverent collaboration with the natural world filled with arresting images and made with an activist spirit.
**UPDATE FOR FEB 23: Due to the winter storm the JBFC Theater, Media Arts Lab and Administrative Offices will be closed today.**

"It is to the great credit of Geographies of Solitude that it never feels expository: It turns an ecology lesson, and an account of a noble, steadfast, single-minded pursuit, into art."
This film is part of the Focus On Nature series.
Focus on Nature is made possible through generous support from the van Hengel Family Fund and the National Endowment for the Arts, and is presented in partnership with Scenic Hudson and Groundwork Hudson Valley.
