“The Art of Adventure” will make its Bucks County premiere at the historic Newtown Theatre on Tuesday, November 10 at 7:30 p.m.
“The Art of Adventure” is an inspiring and deeply human documentary about the extraordinary lifelong friendship between world-renowned wildlife artist Robert Bateman and fearless biologist Bristol Foster. Through their epic 1957 journey around the world – armed with a 16mm camera and an artist’s brush – the film opens a vivid window onto a planet once wild and untouched, and a bond formed through curiosity, courage and love of nature.
At its heart, the film weaves together nature, art and activism, showing how two very different men fought to protect the natural world: one through art, the other through science. Now in their nineties, Bob and Bristol still find sanctuary in nature. Their story is a powerful reflection on friendship, legacy, and the wisdom that comes with age – an uplifting reminder that our connection to the natural world is not separate from who we are, but essential to it.
