BZN DOC Screening: ‘Seeds’
February 22 @ 7:00pm
Our second screening of the month, on Sunday, February 22nd, at 7pm at the Emerson, will be the Montana premiere of the winner of the Grand Jury Award at Sundance and currently Best Documentary Oscar-shortlisted new film, Seeds.
Interweaving the stories of three Black generational farmers to create a collective and intimate portrait of farming today, Seeds is a moving and powerful exploration of their lives, joys and struggles as well as the fragility of legacy and owning land.
With remarkable intimacy, the film documents their everyday lives—cotton harvesting, chasing cows, dealing with broken machinery, and financial precarities. The camera relishes simple moments—conversations through car windows, candy from grandma’s purse as it captures moments of warmth, joy, and fulfillment—turning them into striking vignettes that honor the families’ connection to the land and each other.
“A remarkable portrait of America’s oldest Black farmers and the resilience they exhibit…an incredibly rewarding journey, a film indebted to the past that feels brilliantly alive.” Indiewire
Doors open at 6:30pm.
