The first Friday of each month, the Wildling Art Museum in Los Olivos, a museum devoted to the art of America’s wilderness, screens notable films about nature or art and invites the public to come see them free of charge. The Museum also provides free popcorn and cookies, wine, water and soft drinks. Reservations are not required, but space is limited and seats are available on a first come, first served basis.

On January 6, 7 p.m., the Museum screened “The March of the Penguins,” an 80- minute feature documentary, narrated by Morgan Freeman, with astonishing photography by a French crew under the direction of Luc Jacquet. This film, released last year by Sundance to enormous critical acclaim, shows the trials of the Emperor penguins in Antarctica, as they pursue their steadfast quest through frigid water and over the brutal ice to find their mate and raise their young.
