Also Screening with Religulous is:


Farmer's Requiem, by Ramses Madina.

This is a beautiful nine minute meditative documentary about the gradual disappearance of farming culture. Ramses Madina employs striking time-lapse photography and the thoughtful narration of elderly farmer Victor McGregor. Images of dilapidated farms and decaying barns, accompanied by McGregor’s fading voice, haunt the screen.
Add the score of Montreal group Godspeed You! Black Emperor and you've got one gorgeous 9 minutes of Canadian farming!

This will screen directly before Religulous!
