Film Screening of 'The Invisible Mammal' with Earley Environmental Group

The University of Reading is hosting a screening of The Invisible Mammal on Thursday 12 November, in partnership with the Earley Environmental Group. It's a free event, running from 18:00 to 21:00 at the Palmer Building, in the 109 Lecture Theatre on the Whiteknights Campus (RG6 6UR).

The Invisible Mammal is a feature documentary directed by Kristin Tièche. It was made against the backdrop of a global pandemic and the sixth mass extinction, and it looks at the crucial role bats play in our shared environment. The film follows a team of women bat scientists working to save a North American bat species from white-nose syndrome, a deadly fungal disease. It's co-produced and fiscally sponsored by The Wild Lens Collective, a 501(c)3 organisation, and Tièche describes it as a nature film, a science film and a character-driven adventure all at once.

If you're coming from the town centre, Reading Buses routes 20 and 21 run between the centre and the University, so you don't need a car to get up to Whiteknights. The screening is free, and it runs from 18:00 to 21:00 on Thursday 12 November at the Palmer Building, 109 Lecture Theatre.
