Tuesday March 2 FRIDAYS ON THE FARM
Feeling disconnected from their food, Philadelphia photographer/filmmaker Richard Hoffman and his family decide to join a community-supported organic farm. Hoffman moves from passive observer to active participant as he photographs the natural processes of food cultivation. Featuring lush time-lapse and macro photography sequences compiled from nearly 20,000 still images, this personal essay is a meditation on the miracles of life.
for this film we will be joined by a panel of farmers to discuss the state of community-supported agriculture (CSA) farming in Lancaster County
Thursday April 1 THE WORLD ACCORDING TO MONSANTO
French filmmaker Marie-Monique Robin documents the devastating cost of Monsanto’s race over the last decade to genetically engineer and patent the world’s crops. Her effort to capture the human toll of Monsanto’s drive for GMO market domination took her over the globe, yielding dozens of interviews with scientists, legislators, agricultural officials, farmers, shepherds, and families affected by GMOs. Described as a “must-see” for anyone concerned about the future of our food supply, The World According to Monsanto has been critically-acclaimed in every country where it has opened.
All movies begin at 7pm in Stahr Auditorium, Stager Hall, Franklin and Marshall College and are free and open to the public (donations are welcome!)
