Re: [Frameworks] Experimental Films on Farming/ Agriculture

[Stephen Broomer]

I saw The Loom for the first time a few weeks ago - much of it is shot from 
fixed vantage points looking into a chicken pen (the image becomes layered - 
other barnyard animals enter - painted images are superimposed, as are flames, 
if memory serves). Perhaps others can correct me if my description here is 
inaccurate; but I think it fits very well with what Heath is asking after, as a 
film of animal agricultural.

I'd also recommend Richard Kerr's Hawkesville to Wallenstein, a film of Amish 
farmers in Waterloo County in Canada.

Lots of Anne Charlotte Robertson's work, especially Melon Patches and Emily 
Died.

Robbie Land's Matters of Bioluminessence has a section depicting growth of 
mushrooms/fungi.

Animals: lots of Brakhage. I haven't seen The Loom (1986), but by description 
it may qualify - depending on how strict a definition of agriculture you have 
in mind.

I once saw a Ben van Meter film - I think it was made later than the 60s work 
for which he's best known - about a chicken farmer on LSD.

Rose Lowder’s lovely films come to mind in the gardening/plant category.

Can't think of the title but Vincent Granier has a garden film.
