Yesterday I attended a press event at Museon Omniversum in The Hague, to watch Fungi: Web of Life.

What a pleasant surprise to see that it was actually an Australian production, and featured Tasmania’s amazing ancient Tarkine rainforest.

There was also a strong Dutch connection, with Dutch photographer Wim van Egmond responsible for all the time-lapse images of the growing fungi in the film.

Whether you are Dutch, Australian – or any other nationality – this movie is incredibly eye-opening about the importance of these ecosystems to all of us on earth.

See below for a trailer and more information:

If you’re in The Netherlands, this is currently screening at Museon Omniversum in The Hague. While you’re there, I also highly recommend checking out the Groene Camera/Green Camera exhibition.

In Australia, it’s not currently listed, but keep an eye on their website for screenings: https://www.fungimovie.com/theaters

There is also a great educational resource on their website to learn more about…though it’s labeled as being for grades 3-8, I think it’s interesting for all ages!
