Alexandria Film Festival Presents “Becoming Wild” World Premiere

Join the Alexandria Film Festival and Four Mile Run Conservancy for the world premiere of “Becoming Wild, a meditation on beauty in the natural world,” a feature documentary by award-winning, local filmmaker Jane Pittman. The event takes place on Saturday, April 11, from 2-4 pm at The Lyceum. Tickets ($15) are available at www.AlexFilmFest.com.

About the film: In an Alexandria neighborhood transformed by gentrification and loss of green space, a backyard becomes a sanctuary and a teacher – alive with creatures who ask for nothing more than a place to live. Through seasons of change, “Becoming Wild, a meditation on beauty in the natural world” explores how beauty survives – when we choose to nurture it – and how ordinary people can help rebuild the natural world right where they live. An audience Q&A with Jane Pittman immediately follows the screening. After the event, just outside the museum, join Jeremy Tidd, owner of Bon Terra, for a native plant talk and sale.
