Cinema 10 continues Fall 2011 season Monday night in Potsdam

POTSDAM – Cinema 10 continues its Fall 2011 season Monday, Sept. 19 with a showing of The Greenhorns, a 2010 US documentary about the revolutionary spirit of young farmers across the country.

Films are shown on Mondays at 7:15 p.m. in the Roxy Theater, Main St.

Tickets are $4.50 general / $35 season or $3.50 student/senior/$25 season.

Filmmaker-farmer-activist Severine von Tscharner Fleming spent two years with camcorder in hand, shooting well over 200 hours of footage documenting the revolutionary spirit of young farmers who have mobilized to bring small farms back to the heart of the American food landscape.

Her film is an ode to their grit and entrepreneurial spirit and an exploration of sustainable agriculture on a local level.

We’re in a country where the average age of a farmer is 57 and a state where one farm is lost to real estate development every 3.5 days.

The Greenhorns combines historical perspective, illustrated with rare agricultural archival footage, and a rising spirit of agrarian activism.

A post film panel willl include Patrick Kiley, national Outreach Director for The Greenhorns organization, and local young farmers.
