Outdoor Movie – “Pine Mud”

Enjoy a socially-distanced movie under the stars at the Collingswood Grand Ballroom and Scottish Rite on Sunday, October 11 from 6:30 – 8:30pm. Brought to you by Hundred Year Films, award-winning filmmaker Jared Flesher’s fourth feature documentary explores the controversial topic of off-road vehicle damage on public land.

With a screentime of about 60 minutes, Pine Mud focuses on the vast Pinelands National Reserve of southern New Jersey, a natural resource enjoyed by photographers, hikers, paddlers, and birders from around the country. Like in many wild places, “off-roading” has grown more popular here, with powerful vehicles trampling protected sand dunes and driving circles through ancient ponds. While some of the off-roading activity is perfectly legal, provided it stays on established trails, noncompliance with the rules is widespread. As a gritty local conservationist works to protect habitat for threatened species, tensions flare with off-roading enthusiasts who fear their access to the forest will be restricted. For a deeper dive into these issues, Jared will be holding a 30-minute Q&A session after the film.

Registration is required for this event, with a minimal ticket fee and a request to bring your own seat. The outdoor space that will host attendees is large enough to accommodate social distancing, but event organizers ask that tickets for groups are purchased together. Masks will be required for entrance and may be removed when seated in your designated area. For more information and to purchase tickets, register here.   BYOC (Bring your own chair)
