Knowing & Growing Your Urban Forest

Tuesday, September 30, 2025, 7:00 PM – Tuesday, October 07, 2025, 9:00 PM

IU Cinema
Poster for the event series Knowing and Growing Your Urban Forest, with an still from My Neighbor Totoro and another from the documentary City of Trees. The poster's background is an image of trees in sunlight. Logos for the series' hosts are at the bottom of the poster, and the logos for Canopy Bloomington and IU Cinema are at the top.

This fall, IU Cinema, CanopyBloomington (Canopy) and its partners—including the Center for Documentary Research and Practice, Environmental Futures, Environment, Society & Sustainability Institute, ReWild, City of Bloomington's Office of Sustainability, Urban Greenspace and Urban Forestry Teams, Environmental Resilience Institute and others—invite the community into a two-part cinematic journey. Together, these screenings explore how forests, whether imagined or urban, nurture us and how we, in turn, are called to nurture them.

• My Neighbor Totoro (1988, dir. Hayao Miyazaki) — Tuesday, September 30 at 7:00 p.m. | Japanese with English subtitles | Introduction by Julie Roberts.

• City of Trees (2015, dir. Brandon Kramer) — Tuesday, October 7 at 7:00 p.m. | Introduction by Sarah Mincey | Q&A to follow.

  • Neighborhood Plantings — October 18th, 25th, and November 8th.

Both screenings are free but ticketed through IU Cinema.
