Join us for the screening of Seeds at White Feather Farm, Thursday, October 16th at 7:00pm.

This stunningly poetic, black-and-white portrait follows African American Centennial farmers fighting to hold on to their land and legacy in the rural South. With intertwined storylines anchored by a 142-year-old farm in Thomasville, Georgia, this Sundance U.S. Documentary winner traces their fight with the U.S. Department of Agriculture while honoring their resilience with humor, community, and sometimes heartbreak. Through Shyne's monochrome lens, Seeds invites us to consider what it takes to stay rooted and the true nature of legacy.

Brittany Shyne is an independent filmmaker based in Dayton, Ohio whose work seeks to depict the complexity of everyday life by examining themes of personal histories, alienation, and cultural modernization. She was the recipient of the 2021 Artist Disruptor Award from the Center of Cultural Power, and Seeds is her first feature documentary.

ABOUT THE FILM:

To sow good seeds is to plant possibility. Brittany Shyne’s Seeds is a stunningly poetic, black-and-white portrait of African American Centennial farmers fighting to hold on to their land and legacy in the rural South. With intertwined storylines anchored by a 142-year-old farm in Thomasville, Georgia, this Sundance U.S. Documentary winner has established itself as the gold standard in longitudinal observational filmmaking. “Farming is the backbone of the world,” says one farmer, “that’s who feeds the people.” 

As the number of Black farmers dwindles due to systemic barriers and broken promises, Seeds traces their fight with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and honors their resilience with humor, community, and sometimes heartbreak. Filmed by Shyne herself, the monochrome lens heightens every gesture of resilience, reminding us that cultivating land is also an act of cultivating hope. Seeds invites us to consider what it takes to stay rooted and the true nature of legacy. – Jessica Edwards

Join us for the screening of River of Grass at White Feather Farm, Wednesday, October 15th at 7:00pm

Inspired by the writings of pioneering environmentalist Marjorie Stoneman Douglas, this meditative and visually immersive documentary explores the delicate, endangered ecosystem of the Florida Everglades—known poetically as the "River of Grass." Through intimate cinematography and interviews with conservationists, biologists, and Indigenous voices, Wortzel's feature directorial debut captures the slow unraveling of one of America's most vital wetlands, offering a quiet call to action at the intersection of history, industry, and the natural world.

Sasha Wortzel is a filmmaker and interdisciplinary artist working across video, sculpture, and sound. She is a 2023 Guggenheim Fellow in Film-Video whose work has been shown at MoMA DocFortnight, True/False, Hot Docs, CPH:DOX, and the Smithsonian American Art Museum.

ABOUT THE FILM:

Sasha Wortzel’s River of Grass is a meditative and visually immersive documentary inspired by the writings of Marjorie Stoneman Douglas, an environmentalist from the mid 20th century who was way before her time and who primarily wrote about the Florida Everglades. The film explores the delicate, endangered ecosystem of the Everglades—known poetically as the “River of Grass.” Through intimate cinematography and interviews with conservationists, biologists, and Indigenous voices, the film captures the slow unraveling of one of America’s most vital wetlands. 

Wortzel’s film, which happens to be her feature directorial debut, is not just an environmental documentary; it’s a quiet call to action, offering a sober look at the intersection of history, industry, and the natural world. The film is also personal for Wortzel who grew up in the Florida Everglades. Her film’s tone is restrained but urgent, and like the ecosystem it portrays, the film flows with a certain mournful grace. – Adam Schartoff

Join us for a pre-festival Kick-off Tuesday October 14th at White Feather Farm for a screening of Fatal Watch, followed by a Q&A with directors Mark Benjamin and Katie Carpenter, moderated by documentary filmmaker Pamela Yates.

About the Film:

Dead men tell the ocean’s secrets. Four marine observers vanish at sea under suspicious circumstances. This gripping investigation uncovers why. Traveling from Fiji to Ghana, Spain to the US, this powerful film reveals the dark underbelly of the global tuna trade, where profit outweighs human life and environmental destruction is buried beneath the waves. 

Through exclusive footage and unprecedented access, a team of international investigators exposes the rampant criminality, cover-ups, and violence tied to industrial overfishing. As the ocean’s silent guardians’ risk everything to document the truth, their stories demand action. This is a high-stakes exposé on the hidden cost of the seafood on our plates.
