Join LIM and the Port Jefferson Arts Council for a FREE screening and discussion of the award-winning documentary The Invisible Mammal (2025), directed by Kristin Tièche.
The Invisible Mammal is a feature-length documentary film about bats, infectious disease, and women in science. The Invisible Mammal tells the captivating story of a dedicated team as they strive to protect North America’s bats against a deadly disease rapidly spreading across the continent. In this intensely cinematic film, bats are rendered poetically visible: spectacularly streaming out of caves or bridges, or cradled in a gloved hand, wings extended. This film follows Project Fat Bat, a potential solution to help rebuild healthy bat populations across North America. Against the backdrop of a global pandemic, attributed to a bat species in China, their work gets interrupted, but their commitment never wavers. The race to save bats is on.
After the film, join us for a fascinating discussion with the director, Kristin Tièche!
