Night of the Living Harvest
Food, movies, and the fate of civilization come together in the eclectic mind of Wisconsin farmer Charlie Tennessen, who works his fields with three miniature donkeys while daydreaming of classic Hollywood cinema. Donkeys Rosie, Cassie, and Sebastian are joined by Orson Welles, Gary Cooper, Ida Lupino, and others in this unsettling but inspiring documentary about a man trying to live responsibly. Baffling, intriguing, and disarmingly beautiful, “Night of the Living Harvest” is a call to think deeper about food and the future. Written, filmed, edited, and directed by its subject, a Milwaukee native and former president of the Wisconsin Film Society. HD, color with b&w sequences, 82 minutes, 2022.
