Environmentalism and ecology are areas of rapid growth in academia and society at large. Screening Nature is the first comprehensive work that groups together the wide range of concerns in the field of cinema and the environment, and what could be termed “posthuman cinema.” It comprises key readings that highlight the centrality of nature and nonhuman animals to the cinematic medium, and to the language and institution of film. The book offers a fresh and timely intervention into contemporary film theory through a focus on the nonhuman environment as principal register in many filmic texts. Screening Nature offers an extensive resource for teachers, undergraduate students, and more advanced scholars on the intersections between the natural world and the worlds of film. It emphasizes the cross-cultural and geographically diverse relevance of the topic of cinema ecology.

His entrepreneur parents, considered leftover hippies by most, have always encouraged Elliott to think outside the box. Jeffery is a fellow seventh grader whose father is an up-and-coming Republican running for Congress. He rarely talks to Jeffery unless he is giving instructions or opinions. His mother has a fondness for vodka tonics and rarely smiles. When Jeffery walks into Elliott’s class on the first day, Elliott immediately notices his piercing eyes. As that moment sets into motion a journey of confusion, Elliott and Jeffery must somehow find a way to balance hate and shame with love, understanding, and acceptance. When a deep family secret is revealed, the boys are transported down separate complex, emotional roads that lead them to balance their lives on a tightrope, terrified of falling. But as the answers come, both finally realize the importance of that first day of school. The First Day of School is the emotional tale of two boys as they journey from friendship into a dark tunnel of shame and hate that leaves them battling to find the light at the end.
