CLEARLAKE >> Two films will be screened at the Second Sunday Cinema event on Sunday at the Clearlake United Methodist Church.
Each film is about an hour long and doors will open at 5:45 p.m. The first film will start at 6 p.m. and the second film will begin at 7:05 p.m. The event is free-of-charge.
The first to be screened will be “My Life as a Turkey,” which follows naturalist Joe Hutto as he hatches, imprints and mothers a clutch of wild turkey eggs with such dedication he is accepted as a turkey — not just by his new children, but by the other wild animals in the Florida outback. The film allows the viewer to participate in the awe and wonder of the spiritual, year-long experience, according to Shannon Tolson.
The second film will be “Proteus: a Nineteenth Century Vision.” Its central figure is Ernst Haekel, a biologist and watercolor artist who fell in love with the beauties of nature. More specifically, he discovered the myriad forms of radiolaria, minute sea creatures who build an array of exoskeletons. Haekel painted thousands of these. The movie is set to music by the filmmakers, the radiolaria dance.
For information, call 889-7355.
The Clearlake United Methodist Church is located at 14521 Pearl Ave. in Clearlake.
