about
The project "Sengirės kinas", which combines cinema and environmental protection, invites you to a film screening at the Birštonas Public Library. On June 3 and 4, 17:00, the documentary film "The Primatologist Trio" will be shown.
TRIMATES (dir. Mark Starowicz, Caitlin Starowicz, 2020, Canada, USA, 2 episodes, 60 min., in English with Lithuanian subtitles)
The story of two generations of women: the young pioneers of primatology – Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey and Birutės Galdikas – who, more than half a century ago, went to the jungle to live with our closest relatives – the great apes.
It is also the story of a generation that read their articles, was captivated by their stories, and determined to follow in their footsteps. The film invites you to immerse yourself in the jungles and mountains of Uganda, Borneo, and Congo, exploring the frontiers of fundamental scientific research and the origins of humanity.
The screening is free, and viewers who wish to show their gratitude are invited to support the Sengirė Foundation ( www.sengiresfondas.lt ).
This film is being shown at Sengirės Kinas on June 1–7 on more than 80 screens across Lithuania. You can find the project map here: https://sengireskinas.lt/lokacijos/
More about the project:
Sengirės Cinema is a project combining cinema and environmental education, inspired by the impact of Mindaugas Survila's film "Sengirė" on the protection of old-growth Lithuanian forests. During the "Sengirės Cinema" week, which takes place every month throughout Lithuania, more than 80 screens in various cities and towns show a documentary film about nature and its conservation, accompanied by presentations by scientists that broaden the perspective.

The project is partly funded by the Lithuanian Film Centre and the Public Institution "Virtuioli".
