7:00 PM to 9:00 PM

See the stunning new documentary "Primeval: Enter the Incomappleux" by award-winning fillmmaker Damien Gillis (Fractured Land), official selection at Washington, D.C.'s prestigious Environmental Film Festival in the Nation's Capital.

Learn about a plan to protect the incomparable Incomappleux - one of the world's last truly intact, ancient temperate rainforests - with a new provincial park. Featuring a multimedia presentation by Valhalla Wilderness Society Director Craig Pettitt and discussion with he and Gillis.

Admission $10 @ door. Visiting the Incomappleux is “like going back in time”, as expedition member Sean Elkink observes, to a forest that has been growing continuously since the last ice age – utterly untouched by the hand of man. But in recent decades, most of the ancient rainforest in the Incomappleux Valley has been destroyed by logging. The magnificent core that is left has been spared only by the hard work of a small band of defenders – and remains under threat to this day.
