The Greenhorns – documentary film that explores the lives of America’s young farming community

The Greenhorns - http://www.cityfarmer.info/

With help from Patrick Kiley.

“The Greenhorns” is a documentary film that explores the lives of America’s young farming community — its spirit, practices, and needs. It is the filmmakers’s hope that by broadcasting the stories and voices of these young farmers, we can build the case for those considering a career in agriculture — to embolden them, to entice them, and to recruit them into farming.

The film will be completed by June, with a release campaign across the country later this year and into 2011. A quarter to a third of the farmers in the film operate in an urban setting. Examples: Louella Hill (the Baltimore cheese maker) and Brooke Budner (San Francisco gardener) and Allemany Farm in California.

Looking at nature, Blake saw a vision of wildness: Tyger,...

žižek, tarkovsky, and the postindustrial wasteland "...The ultimate Tarkovskian landscape is that of a river or pond close to some forest,full of the debris of human artifices—old concrete blocks, rusty metal. The postindustrial wasteland of the Second World is the privileged “evental site,” the symptomatic point out of which one can undermine the totality of today’s global capitalism. One should love this world, with its grey, decaying buildings and sulphuric smell, for all this stands for history, threatened with erasure between the post-historical First World and the pre-historical Third World. Let’s recall Walter Benjamin’s notion of “natural history” as “renaturalized history”: it takes place when historical...
