Re: [Frameworks] Films on farming

[Janis Crystal Lipzin]

Linda,

I have made films many of which respond to my rural setting in Northern 
California, specifically western Sonoma County, for over 30 years.  You might 
be interested in my film "Seasonal Forces" which is is available from Canyon 
Cinema.  http://canyoncinema.com/catalog/film/?i=3162
SEASONAL FORCES reveals the dissonance of human and natural conjunctions 
unfolding in many rural areas . I draw on footage shot over the past 25 years - 
some appropriated from commercial resources, some hand-processed - an 
accumulation of textures which illuminate the film's fabric of memory. A 
wisteria arbor in bloom collapses under the weight of a late Spring rain, is 
rebuilt and repeats its cycle. In between occur an arson, flood, earthquake, 
planting and the harvest. 

In addition, my  "Home Entertainment Center for a Farmworker" directly 
confronts agricultural pesticide abuse in the form of a film/video sculpture.  
I'll be happy to provide more information if you are interested.

good luck with your project,

Janis Crystal Lipzin

Re: [Frameworks] Films on Farming

[Sarah Neely]

I'm not sure if it has been mentioned yet, but Scottish experimental filmmaker, 
Margaret Tait's wonderful film following the seasonal changes on an Orkney 
croft, Land Makar (1981) (Makar is the Scots word for poet) 
http://movingimage.nls.uk/film/3700,
is definitely worth looking at.  It is both a portrait of the crofter, Mary 
Graham Sinclair, and the landscape where she lived and worked.

Tait was from Orkney and her family were well-known agricultural merchants.  
Mary Graham Sinclair was a neighbour of Tait's and she knew her very well, 
which comes across in the film.

All the best,
Sarah Neely

Subject: Re: [Frameworks] Films on Farming
> Mala Leche (2003) by Naomi Uman

'Mala Leche' is a racist/classist/xenophobic POS about a Mexican immigrant 
family living in a slum in California.

The film about farming is just ‘Leche’ (1998) a totally romanticized vision of 
life on a rural Mexican dairy farm, then the home of the family later featured 
in ‘Mala Leche’.
The companion pieces are opposites, ‘Leche’ dreamy-positive; ‘Mala Leche’ 
fetid-negative, but each, in their own way, ideologically clueless and corrupt.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBwYvMcqRmI

Back in the previous decade when I was attending UFVA regularly, I saw several 
experimental shorts about animal rights issue in terms of animal farming and 
slaughter made by a PhD student than at Kansas named Mark von Schlemmmer. I 
just Googled him, and he’s teaching at Central Missouri know. He has a Youtube 
page at: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7691C304BAC252F5
As I recall the pieces, what they lack in polish may be made offset for your 
purpose by the subject and the passion applied to it.

It seems to me a lot of the requests here for ‘experimental films about [topic 
X]’ are for topics not only where few, if any, experimental films exist, but 
also, like ‘farming’, the sort of concrete subjects experimental films rarely 
if ever actually address or illuminate even when some element of that topic has 
been in front of the lens.

That said, ‘farming’ strikes me as a kind of rich but unexplored territory for 
inspiration or connection or material for many of the kinds of things 
experimental makers do.
It’s certainly true that most makers have lived in and taken images from 
cities. When leaving the urban, experimental work has most often been wrapped 
up in Romantic concepts of ‘nature’. (I had to laugh at Adam’s reference to 
"tilling fields & harvesting crops and working the soil’.) Farming’ is pretty 
much marked by taming nature and bending it to a sort of broad social will, 
with as much high tech as any big industry. So if an experimental maker got out 
to farmland as it actually is, there’d be all kinds of objects and actions that 
could serve as ostrananie to city folks, and be grist for the mill of creative 
eyes and minds: giant combine machines and elevators and irrigation systems, 
de-tasseling brigades… Someone could do a cool ‘found footage’ piece cu from 
the TV ads that play in Iowa, both local spots and big-budget 
high-production-value campaigns for hybrid seed brands, fertilizer, herbicides 
and insecticides…. "Whether you incorporate you atrazine or add it later, we 
have the right stuff for you!"

[Francisco Torres]

Dave Tetzlaff- 'The companion pieces are opposites, ‘Leche’
dreamy-positive; ‘Mala Leche’ fetid-negative, but each, in their own way,
ideologically clueless and corrupt.''

Which makes me wonder why do most filmmakers when making
''social''/''ethnographic'' films usually go outside their own group and
choose some ''outsider'' group? After all the group they know the best is
their own so why not make films about their own people? Because most times
when they look out they get everything wrong and the films end up a mess

Thank you all for the inspiring links and title suggestions. Dave, I agree
that this is a relatively unexplored subject for experimental makers, which
is why I put out a call to see if others knew of more films that dealt with
farming than I did. I am also a filmmaker that works on a small scale
vegetable farm in the Northwest and am constantly inspired by the work and

Re: [Frameworks] Films on Farming (GD Cohen)

[G D Cohen]

Many of the films in Phill Niblock's "The Movement of People Working"
series depict people performing agricultural work: "Trabajando Una";
"Trabajando Dos"; etc.

The Russian filmmaker to which the poster from "Cinema Project" referred
could be Sergei Loznitsa. See, for example, "Life, Autumn," "Settlement,"
"Artel," "Northern Light"...

Also, there is a Russian filmmaker whose name is escaping me right now,

Re: [Frameworks] Films on Farming

[Ken Paul Rosenthal]

Any list of experimental films on farming should begin and end with Hybrid by 
Monteith McCollum. Hybrid embodies farming in style and content, and is one of 
the most influential films on my own work, particularly in terms of rhythm and 
sound. In fact, Monteith created the sound design for my film, Crooked Beauty.

Re: [Frameworks] Films on Farming

[Daniel Benjamin Robin]

Here's a documentary web series I did about an urban organic farm in Atlanta. 
It's kind of epic, 90 episodes.

some on ranching and herding.


sp,e near misses:


Marjorie Keller, The Answering Furrow, 1985 (27 min.): sound, color; 16 mm?


images of farm labor: Bruce Baillie, Quixote

*James Benning's 8 1/2 x11 and 11x14, and EL VALLEY CENTRO*
