Mares Nest Ben Rivers with Q&A hosted by Mark Jenkin

Moon travels through a mysterious world free of adults. She meets a sage and her translator in a mountain hut, where she tries to understand what is happening. She meets many others who show her different possibilities for living. She observes and moves on into an unknown future.
The film will be followed by a live Q&A with the film's director Ben Rivers, hosted by BAFTA-winning filmmaker Mark Jenkin.
