MIDWEST PREMIERE. CORNMAN FARMS SPECIAL SCREENING. Told through the lens of writer, environmentalist, and farmer WENDELL BERRY, Look & See takes you on a journey that challenges how you think about land. This meditative look at the culturally- and physically-changing landscape explores the ideological struggle between the deeply ingrained values of local farmers and the growth of industrial agriculture.
Directors LAURA DUNN and JEF SEWELL delicately blend interviews with residents of Henry County, Kentucky (Berry’s birthplace) with stunning images of the landscape through all four seasons of the farming cycle. They invite you to look through the window Berry looks through as he explores the natural world with an artful eye. Winner of the SXSW FILM FESTIVAL SPECIAL JURY AWARD.
