Event overview

Ruth Maclennan's Treeline exhibits at Whitechapel Gallery and on their website for Artists' Film International (AFI).

Read Ruth Maclennan's Artist Q&A with AFI here.

Treeline is a collectively made film compiled from hundreds of hours of footage of forests submitted by people across the world. Resembling a continuous horizontal travelling shot, Maclennan's infinite panorama of trees is a vivid reminder of the swathes of green that continue to encircle and nourish the planet, and a powerful emblem of the shared resources and shared futures that bind people together.

Treeline (2021) was co-commissioned by Film and Video Umbrella and Forestry England. Supported by John Hansard Gallery and Hunterian, University of Glasgow.
