WATCH "INHABIT" FILM TRAILER: http://fingerlakespermaculture.org/?p=3495

Ten years ago in the Northeast one could barely find a permaculture class, 
much less a site that demonstrated permaculture principles and techniques in 
action. Today there is a very different story emerging, and examples abound 
of permaculture applied to farms, gardens, urban environments, social 
systems, and more.

In 2013, filmmakers Costa Boutsikaris and Emmett Brennan took a journey 
around the northeast and midwest U.S. and combined their eye for beauty with 
their passionate interest in permaculture to create a feature length 
documentary: INHABIT.

The film presents a vast array of projects, concepts, and people translating 
the diversity of permaculture expressions into a message easily understood by 
an equally diverse audience. To those familiar with permaculture, it will be 
a call to action and a glimpse into what’s possible; what kind of projects 
and solutions are already underway. For those unfamiliar, it will be an 
introduction to a new way of being and a new way of relating to the Earth. 
For everyone, it will be a reminder that humans are capable of being 
planetary healing forces.

INHABIT will be screening at the Finger Lakes Environmental Film Festival 
(FLEFF) in Ithaca, New York on Thursday, April 9th. The FLEFF Festival 
embraces and interrogates sustainability across all of its forms: economic, 
social, ecological, political, cultural, technological, and aesthetic. This 
year their theme is HABITATS. “Environments inhabited by animals, plants, 
organisms, minerals, fungi, bacteria. Terrains, waters, atmospheres defined 
by layers, relationships, and complexities surrounding the human and the 
nonhuman. Ecological systems offering sustenance and life.”

The event is co-sponsored by the Finger Lakes Permaculture Institute (FLPCI) 
and includes a segment with their cofounder Steve Gabriel, who maintains 
Wellspring Forest Farm alongside his wife Elizabeth in Mecklenburg NY, where 
they produce maple syrup, mushrooms, and raise ducks and sheep, while seeking 
to restore the landscape to a healthy state. Steve--along with Ken Mudge of 
Cornell University--is also the author of  "Farming the Woods" a book 
recently published by Chelsea Green Press. After the film, join them along 
with Director Costa Boutsikaris and FLPCI Board Member Becky Sims for a post 
film discussion about permaculture and related projects and events in the 
Finger Lakes Region.
