Invitation to “FOREST” , premiering on Thursday, November 14 – 7PM at Village East by Angelika.

NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE When Polish couple Asia and Marek decide to move to a remote cabin in Bialowieza Forest and home-school their children Marysia, Ignacy, and Franek, they imagine an innocent paradise far from the modern world’s problems. The woods are a mysterious, magical place to explore and learn, and the children  delight in images of the wild bison and moose captured on their trap cameras. Then the forest reveals an unexpected, frightening presence. Europe’s humanitarian crisis and oppressive border politics enters their idyll, testing the family’s resolve. – Jaie Laplante
