Lake Sturgeons’ Guide for Surviving the Anthropocene is a deep dive into the world of an ancient fish trying to survive the Anthropocene, the humans that love and study them, and the stories that they tell. The film examines history, art, culture, and language through an ecological lens pointed at a single species, and zooms outward from there. It's a film about time, nature, and human nature.

A sneak peak screening and artist’s talk will be presented Wednesday, December 10, 2025 at Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center. The event is free and open to the public. Seating is first come, first served and a reservation is recommended. To reserve your seat, click here.
