FANTASTIC FUNGI Opening at the Cinema Art Theater
The Rehoboth Beach Film Society’s Cinema Art Theater presents “Fantastic Fungi,” a consciousness-shifting documentary that takes us on an immersive journey through time and scale into the magical earth beneath our feet, an underground network that can heal and save our planet.
When so many are struggling for connection, inspiration and hope, “Fantastic Fungi” brings us together as interconnected creators of our world. Through the eyes of renowned scientists and mycologists like Paul Stamets, best-selling authors Michael Pollan, Eugenia Bone, Andrew Weil and others, we become aware of the beauty, intelligence and solutions the fungi kingdom offers us in response to some of our most pressing medical, therapeutic, and environmental challenges.

Matt Fagerholm of “RogerEbert.com” exclaims, “One of the year's most mind-blowing, soul-cleansing and yes, immensely entertaining triumphs.” Pamela Powell of “Reel Honest Reviews” remarks, “Using time-lapse macro cinematography, this film is simply mesmerizing, captivating you, as you find yourself forgetting to breathe.”
