Eye-popping insect documentary MICROCOSMOS (1996)

April 16 : 7:00 pm 8:30 pm

“An amazing film that allows us to peer deeply into the insect world” – Roger Ebert

Experience the strange, beautiful, surreal world of insects as never before in this singular, artful nature documentary, which employs specially created cameras and lenses—developed over the course of three years—to capture an unseen parallel universe up close. With astonishing clarity, MICROCOSMOS shows us the secret lives of snails, spiders, caterpillars, mantises, beetles, and more as they live, love, and struggle to survive, inviting us to see life on our own planet through new eyes.

This film is screening as part of Arkadin’s series ANIMALIA MANIA, which spotlights films heavily featuring non-human creatures — some friendly, others deadly.
