BUEI Screens presents: Biggest Little Farm, back for a third showing on Tuesday, August 6th.
The Biggest Little Farm follows two dreamers and a dog on an odyssey to bring harmony to both their lives and the land.
When the barking of their beloved dog Todd leads to an eviction notice from their tiny LA apartment, John and Molly Chester make a choice that takes them out of the city and onto 200 acres in the foothills of Ventura County, naively endeavouring to build one of the most diverse farms of its kind in complete coexistence with nature. The land they’ve chosen, however, is utterly depleted of nutrients and suffering from a brutal drought.
The film chronicles eight years of daunting work as they attempt to create the utopia they seek, planting 10,000 orchard trees and over 200 different crops, and bringing in animals of every kind.
The film starts at 7:30pm in the Tradewinds Auditorium. You can even make a night of it as the Harbourfront restaurant opens for dinner at 5pm and ticket-holders are entitled to 10% off dinner (food only) after the film. Reservations required. Please call 295-4207 for reservations and be sure to mention the film. Cannot be combined with any other special offers.
Tickets are $15 each and $12 for students. Tickets are non-refundable within 24 hours of event.
For more information, or to purchase tickets, contact 294-0204 or visit BUEI’s Oceans Gift Shop.
