Observer - Film Screening and Outdoor Exploration

Join us for a film screening of Observer at Plymouth State University followed by exploration outside with Meghan Doherty, Director of the Museum of the White Mountains. This is a great chance to see something new in our corner of Plymouth. The first 50 people to register and attend will be eligible to receive an Observer kit of items hand-picked by the filmmaking team. The kit includes a homemade red square for viewing the world, plus a hand lens, notebook, watercolor kit, pencil, sand timer, dice, and a guide to observation games. Come hone your observational powers and exercise your curiosity!

The film screening will be held in the Hage room located on the second floor of the Hartman Union Building on Plymouth State's campus. 

In OBSERVER, filmmaker Ian Cheney embarks on an experiment in which he brings a series of keen-eyed observers - scientists, artists, a hunter - to a range of locations around the world, often without telling them where they are going, and asks them simply to describe what they see. What unfolds is a deep exploration and celebration of the power of observation: what happens when you find new ways to sense and perceive the world around you? With customary whimsy and a small painted red square that Cheney brings on every journey, the film is an invitation to viewers to find beauty and meaning in even the most quotidian of locales.
