"Taxidermists do what they do not because they see DEATH....They do what they do because they see LIFE."
-"Stuffed"
We are THRILLED to be bringing the documentary film, "Stuffed" to the Flat Rock Cinema for a two day screening! For the Sunday screening, we are so pleased to have the film director, Erin Derham in attendance and will be hosting her at the gallery following the film for an informal reception.
“Stuffed” is a documentary feature film about the surprising and unique world of taxidermy. Through the eyes and hands of passionate renowned artists across the world, the film allows the audience to dip into & explore this diverse subculture, where sculptors must also be scientists. It is a genre of art, formed by a collection of people who have a fanaticism for nature, matched only by their desire to protect it. They love animals and see life where others only see death. In an unexpected twist, “Stuffed” reveals the importance of preserving nature, using taxidermy as its unlikely vehicle, and the taxidermist as its wild driver.
Tickets are available for $15 at the gallery or by clicking this link.
