"Mary Oliver: Saved by the Beauty of the World" was one of the most popular films at BIFF 2026, with three sold-out screenings. Don't miss your chance to see this amazing film about the beloved poet!

Celebrated best-selling poet, Pulitzer Prize-winner, lover of dogs and long walks in the woods, openly q***r but intensely private, Oliver was America’s unlikely contemporary mystic, stalking the ponds and forests of Cape Cod for nearly fifty years in order to open herself – and her readers – to the known and unknowable world. Her inspirational poems speak directly to contemporary anxieties about attention, presence, and the human relationship with the natural world – issues that feel especially pressing in an era of climate crisis, digital distraction, and social fragmentation.

Featuring interviews with her close friends, including John Waters, never-before-seen personal photos, notebooks, correspondence from her archive, and recitations of her work, Mary Oliver: Saved by the Beauty of the World considers the poet’s long lifetime of work in context, capturing the uniqueness of her world and the natural beauty that inspired her.

Plus: Talkback with Michele Battiste, 2026-28 Poet Laureate of Lafayette, Colorado, after the 7 PM screening on July 30th.

Catch Mary Oliver: Saved By the Beauty of the World, July 29 to August 2, at the Boedecker Theater.
