Hollow Tree: A Film Screening and Conversation

Hollow Tree is a feature-length documentary that follows three teenagers coming of age in their sinking homeplace of Louisiana. For the first time, they notice the Mississippi River’s engineering, stumps of cypress trees, and polluting refineries. Their different perspectives — as Indigenous, white, and Angolan young women — shape their story of the climate crisis.

Offered in connection with MAAM’s current exhibition, Displacement, this film screening will be followed by a short conversation featuring Kira Akerman, director of Hollow Tree, with Brian Hone, Curator of Education at MassArt Art Museum. Audience Q&A to follow.
