Grumpy Old Men
A classic film from 1993 about a love-hate relationship between two neighbors.
IN THE BLOOD
Up to the turn of the century, it was not a board of directors or a bureaucratic system that made the logging camp and industry successful—it was the skills, integrity, and personality of individuals. In The Blood illustrates and celebrates these individuals, their character, and history. The audience is taken into his rugged environment, into the camp, onto the haul roads, landings and yards, rivers and lakes. In The Blood creates a vivid world and brings the lumberman’s 19th century reality to life.

The travelers must now band together to survive a punishing landscape that’s crawling with hostile Comanches and vicious outliers.

FANTASTIC FUNGI
This fascinating documentary explores the almost otherworldly characteristics of mushrooms and fungi.

Through this fungal network deep in the soil, a view emerges of forests as one single living being rather than a group of disconnected individual trees.
