Film short abstract:

The film aims to capture the sensorial aspects of small-scale agricultural production. With a focus on the anthropology of touch, it follows the daily work of two elderly farmers.

Film long abstract:

The film weaves together clips of visual fieldnotes recorded during my participatory research with small-scale agricultural producers. Guided by my interest in phenomenological anthropology and sensorial ethnography, it is an essay about the daily labour of the hands of my two elderly friends. Explanations, comments, and reasonings are mere background noise in this close focus. The film is experimental in the sense that it intentionally breaks from the narrative-driven tradition of anthropological filmmaking. It is our first attempt at creating an ethnographic film and received no funding from any institution.
