February 26: Session 9, 6:30–9 pm 
Bob Fisch Presentation Hall, Joyce F. Brown Academic Building

Seeds, Directed by Sabrina Schmidt Gordon

Filmed for almost a decade, Seeds is a lyrical black-and-white portrait of Black farming families in the American South. Centering the struggles and joys of centennial farmers who have held onto their land for generations, the film is an elegiac reflection on land, community, and the fragility of a legacy that deserves to endure. (2 hours, 3 minutes, followed by Q&A with producer Sabrina Schmidt Gordon)

The film festival is open to the public; it is a ticketed event.

NOTE: Films screened at FIT are free for all FIT students, employees, and alumni using promo code FITFREE26.
