Honeyland
Thursday August 22, 8:20 PM at Reversing Hall
HONEYLAND, the most awarded film from this year's Sundance Film Festival, features Hatidze, a lone beekeeper in Macedonia. She’s the last in a long line of wild beekeepers, eking out a living farming honey in small batches sold in the closest city – a mere four hours’ walk away. When new neighbors arrive that threaten to destroy her traditional way of life, a breach in the natural order provokes a conflict with Hatidze that exposes the fundamental tension between nature and humanity, harmony and discord, exploitation and sustainability. While the family provides a much-needed respite from Hatidze’s isolation and loneliness, her means of survival are threatened. She must protect her relationship with the fragile ecosystem she depends on. Watch the trailer, here!
The Permaculture Orchard: Beyond Organic
Friday August 23, 9 PM at Reversing Hall
The Permaculture Orchard : Beyond Organic is a feature-length educational film that will teach you how to set up your own permaculture orchard at any scale. Recognizing the limitations of the organic model as a substitute to conventional fruit growing, this film proposes a more holistic, regenerative approach based on permaculture principles. Based on 20 years of applied theory and trial and error, biologist and educator Stefan Sobkowiak shares his experience transforming a conventional apple orchard into an abundance of biodiversity that virtually takes care of itself. The concepts, techniques and tips presented in this film will help you with your own project, whether it is just a few fruit trees in your urban backyard, or a full-scale multi-acre commercial orchard.
