SECRETS FROM A FOREST

An Immersive Journey Through Nature, Art and Music

Runtime: 30 minutes

Journey deep into the snow-covered Italian Dolomites, where an extraordinary forest has quietly produced some of the world's most legendary musical instruments for centuries.

Secrets From a Forest is an award-winning immersive film that follows the remarkable journey of the Paneveggio Forest's famous "singing spruce," from a living tree high in the mountains to the creation of a priceless Stradivarius violin.

Surrounded by breathtaking landscapes, audiences travel through the changing seasons of Northern Italy, descend into the hidden ecosystems that shape these ancient trees, and step inside the intimate workshop of a master violin maker as raw wood is transformed into an instrument of extraordinary beauty.

The journey culminates in a spectacular musical performance, where the finished violin comes alive alongside members of the Minnesota Orchestra and the worlds of forest, craftsmanship and music converge around you.

Created under the artistic vision of renowned National Geographic photographer Jim Brandenburg and award-winning director Neil Lucas, Secrets From a Forest was designed specifically for immersive cinema, using innovative filmmaking and visual techniques to place the audience inside environments that would be impossible to experience on a traditional screen.

Winner of multiple international immersive-film awards, including Best Fulldome Feature, Best Narrative, Best Sound, and a Best of Earth Award, this is more than a nature documentary. It is a cinematic journey through the hidden connections between nature and human creativity.

See the forest. Follow the transformation. Hear what it becomes.

A visually spectacular experience for adults, families, music lovers, nature lovers and anyone looking to experience cinema in an entirely new way.
