A Growing Season

Following Ontario farmer John Gorzo Jr. from the spring planting through the fall harvest this stark, intimate film strips away our bucolic fantasies and reveals how incredibly hard farmers work to produce the food we eat. As Gorzo struggles with unpredictable weather, globalized markets and rocky finances, we marvel at his perseverance in the face of such uncertain gain. “As the months went by, we clearly could see the strain on John’s face,” says director Paul Eichhorn. “It really offers viewers the chance to see first-hand the challenges facing farmers today.”

Hometown Habitat, Stories of Bringing Nature Home

Hometown Habitat features renowned entomologist Dr. Douglas Tallamy, whose research, books and lectures on the use of non-native plants in landscaping, sound the alarm about habitat and species loss. Tallamy provides the narrative thread that challenges the notion that humans are here and nature is someplace else. “It doesn’t have to, and shouldn’t be that way.” Inspiring stories of community commitment to conservation landscaping illustrate Tallamy’s vision by showing how humans and nature can co-exist with mutual benefits.

Splendeurs et Illusions

2019 · ★ 10

In the Garden of the New People's Theater Overview They wanted to create a theater that reflected their own vision, a freer theater, closer to its audience. So they built a wooden stage under the benevolent shade of a twisted church steeple, in the garden of a small village in Maine-et-Loire, Fontaine-Guérin. And the dream of a New People's Theater took shape amidst the fields. This is the story of a generation of actors in their thirties who have grown old together and who, ten years later, are realizing the audacity and fragility of their dream. For its tenth season, the company tackles Balzac's *Human Comedy* and plunges us into the torments and illusions of their lives as artists through the outlandish tale of Lucien de Rumbempré, a young poet who dreams of going to Paris. How can an artist avoid losing their soul? Therein lies the inner conflict. Xavier Liébard Director, Writer
