Film Program:
The Boys and the Bees (USA / 2025 / 18 MIN) Dir. Arielle Knight
On an idyllic farm in rural Georgia, beekeeping parents tenderly share their knowledge of life, love, and nature with their young sons while restoring their homestead.
Eve’s Garden (Waterfront South) (USA / 2007 / 9 MIN) Dir. Heart of Camden
Founded in 2004, Eve’s Garden and Community Greenhouse gives residents the opportunity to have their own lush piece of paradise in the middle of Camden’s urban-industrial waterfront. While deadly environmental pollution disproportionately affects communities of color, urban gardens such as Eve’s have long-demonstrated that industrial blight does not have the final word on a community’s vitality. Precious Places Vol. 3, 2007.
I Spoke to a Tomato Plant (USA / 2026 / 29 MIN) Dir. Christian Hayden
I Spoke to a Tomato Plant follows gardeners in the Mantua and Belmont area of Philadelphia as they share their experience of gardening and building relationships towards healing past traumas. Layered with a soundscape of Philadelphia musicians, ISTAP is an ode to connection, both plant and human, as well as the capacity for change.
