Join us Sunday, March 7 from 1:00-4:00pm at Crandell Theatre in Chatham, NY for an afternoon of farming films.
We typically show one professionally produced documentary (60-90 minutes) plus a variety of short films made by and/or about local farms and farming issues. For example, we showed Derek Grout's crowd pleasing "Packing Line" to thunderous applause in 2007! And Steve McCarthy and Jeff Lick produced a lovely film featuring the Spruce Ridge Farm alpacas. We get requests for Courtney Hunt's "Chatham Grown" every year.
If you are a creative person who might want to make a film or if you know creative people who might like to, films should be 5-20 minutes and submitted in DVD format by March 15, 2010. Making a film is lots of fun and helps us continue to educate residents and visitors about the important role that farming plays in the local economy and food system.
