Pre-screening disucssion with local sheep farmer Eugene Wyatt from Catskill Merino Sheep Farm and Directors Ilisa Barbash and Lucien Castaing-Taylor. Part of the series Eat This Film!
Ilisa Barbash and Lucien Castaing-Taylor's astonishing experiential documentary follows a flock of sheep on a three-month journey through Montana's Beartooth Mountains as they search for grazing grass. Yes this elegant, largely wordless film is about more than simply the annual routines of sheep and their herders: it's a story of the ecosystem of the American west. Featuring gorgeous cinematography and patient, immersive storytelling, Sweetgrass is one of the best nonfiction films in years.
Local sheep farmer Eugene Wyatt from Catskill Merino Sheep Farm and Directors Ilisa Barbash and Lucien Castaing-Taylor will shed light on raising and filming sheep.
