Join us for an evening of film and conversation about living with wildlife in the Roaring Fork Valley.

Madre Ceiba is a 22-minute film by local filmmaker and National Geographic Explorer Sylvia Johnson. Along Costa Rica's Caribbean coast, forests that have sheltered wildlife and communities for generations are facing growing pressure from development. Wildlife rescue centers are receiving more injured animals, while roads, power lines, and tourism increasingly reach into places that were once wild. Madre Ceiba asks us to look at what is alive, connected, and worth protecting before it disappears.

Film screening followed by Q&A with the filmmaker and panel discussion about living with wildlife in the Roaring Fork Valley with local organizations who are actively working on solutions: Wilderness Workshop and Roaring Fork Safe Passages.

Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller star in this adaptation of Mary Shelley’s iconic novel, directed by Danny Boyle, the Oscar-winning director of Slumdog Millionaire, Trainspotting, and 127 Hours. Only at TACAW October 29.

Childlike in his innocence but grotesque in form, Frankenstein’s bewildered creature is cast out into a hostile universe by his horror-struck maker. Meeting cruelty wherever he goes, the increasingly desperate and vengeful Creature resolves to find his creator and strike a terrifying deal. This thrilling, deeply disturbing classic tale explores scientific responsibility, parental neglect, cognitive development, and the nature of good and evil.

We’re excited to host The Rocky Horror Picture Show on October 30!
