Hunt for wild mushrooms and discover the deeper cultural experiences inspired by fungi

Inspired by a conversation with filmmaker and mushroom buff Jim Jarmusch, counter culture specialist Ron Mann (Tales of the Rat Fink, PW 2006) sets off to the annual Telluride Mushroom Festival in Colorado. There he encounters the unique sub-subculture surrounding fungi that includes an unlikely assortment of nerds, nuts, hipsters, tripsters, artists, chefs, musicians, foodies, foragers, and seekers, all paying homage to the mighty mushroom.


The screening will be followed by a Q&A with special guest Ron Mann and a

psychedelic party until late! and a Show by Celia Curtis

Doors Open 830pm $12
