Sunday, August 25, 2019
Screening 7 P.M., Pre-Screening Garden Reception 6 P.M.
Can spider plants sense pain? Is fern telepathy feasible? The empathic, ecophilic Laurie (Nancy Boykin) thinks so, most days eschewing human interactions in favor of quality time with her fiddle-leaf fig tree. After a sudden tragedy, her sister Rilla (Nancy Snyder), a photographer and the film's narrator, subsumes Laurie's plant obsession, believing that certain secrets lie within their leaves. Beautifully shot by João Fernandes (Bloodrage), The Kirlian Witness is a botanical thriller of dendritic proportions, and an essential entry in the tiny but rich horticultural horror canon.
Enjoy a pre-screening reception in the gardens of the Velaslavasay Panorama from 6 P.M. onwards. Film program begins at 7 P.M. at the Velaslavasay Panorama, 1122 West 24th Street, Los Angeles, CA 90007 (www.panoramaonview.org).
Public Parking is available on the corner of Northeast corner of Hoover and 25th Street.
