Take a psychedelic plunge into the extraordinary world of plasmodial slime moulds—a rare, super-intelligent organism that moves like a plant/animal hybrid right beneath our feet. Like a vintage sci-fi picture, The Creeping Garden takes you through petri dishes, fungariums and mazes as fringe scientists, artists and mycologists collaborate with this extraordinary substance to make musical compositions, project future population shifts and re-imagine the textures of life as we know it. Filmed under a microscope with stunning time lapse footage, and an entrancing electronic score by Sonic Youth’s Jim O’Rourke, this film will leave you giddy and delirious with wonder.
The film will be available for 48 hours from when you start the stream. Please note streaming is only possible from inside Canada. Need assistance? Visit our FAQ page or email us at streamingsupport@hotdocs.ca.
