The Invisible Mammal plus local Bat Group Talk
Star & Shadow Cinema, Newcastle Upon Tyne, NE2 1BB
Wednesday 15th April 2026
A film about bats, their struggle to survive, and the humans who help them.
Against the backdrop of a global pandemic and the sixth mass extinction, filmmaker Kristin Tièche explores the crucial roles that bats play in our shared environment, and how a team of women bat scientists set out to save a North American bat species from a deadly fungal disease called white-nose syndrome (WNS) to create a better future for both bats and humans.
At once a nature film, a science film, and a character-driven adventure film, The Invisible Mammal will immerse you in the world of bats and forever change the way you feel about these amazing little creatures.
Before the film screening we will be joined by members of the Durham Bat Group who will give a short talk on the conservation of the UK bats and be on hand to talk about their work.
