- Dr Merlin Sheldrake visits BFI IMAX to talk about Fungi: Web of Life, a documentary that uncovers the mysterious world of fungi, which connects all life on Earth.
All life on Earth is connected by a mysterious Kingdom of life we are only just beginning to unravel: fungi. When we think of fungi, we probably think of mushrooms. But mushrooms are only fruiting bodies, analogous to apples on a tree. Most fungi live out of sight, yet make up a massively diverse group of organisms that support and sustain the living world. This film is about the ways that fungi have shaped life on Earth for over a billion years, and how we might partner with them to adapt to the radical change of our times.
Join Björk and acclaimed biologist, Dr. Merlin Sheldrake, on an exploration of the hidden world of fungi against the backdrop of Tasmania's ancient Tarkine rainforest, largely unchanged from the time of the dinosaurs. We'll begin in the depths of the forest floor, where fungi are the central players in nature's story of birth, death, and rebirth to discover that life as we know it could not exist without them. Björk and Merlin will show us some the grandest and strangest organisms ever discovered in jaw-dropping time-lapse cinematography. Fungi have important lessons to teach humanity and may hold the key to solving some of humanity's most urgent problems. With millions more species to discover, our exploration of the fungal world has only just begun.
