Celebrate Bat Appreciation Month with this new feature-length documentary, which follows an all-woman team of biologists as they set out to save bats from the ravages of white-nose syndrome. Directed by Bay Area filmmaker Kristin Tieche and produced by Matthew Podolsky (Sea of Shadows), The Invisible Mammal world-premiered at the 2025 DocLands Documentary Film Festival to a sold-out crowd, where it won the Audience Choice Award. The film features Chief Scientist of Bat Conservation International Dr. Winifred Frick, founder of NorCal Bats Corky Quirk, and Dr. Alice Chung-MacCoubrey of the National Park Service, offering a rare glimpse into the underground habitats of the little brown bat. Hopeful and science-driven, The Invisible Mammal illuminates the connections between bat conservation and infectious disease — and will help you see these small-but-mighty mammals in a whole new light.
Following the film, Haley Andreozzi and Sandi Houghton of NH Bat Counts and Christina Kocer, Regional White-Nose Syndrome Coordinator with the US Fish and Wildlife Service, will be on hand for questions, and to share what you can do to protect bats here in the Granite State.
Registration is encouraged. For more information, including questions about accessibility contact Brett Amy Thelen.
