Film Lens
In 'Queer Gardening', 24 LGBTQIA2* gardeners present their gardens and discuss how their identities influence the design of these spaces. The film captures their personal narratives and the ways in which they are queering ecology, examining the relationship between nature and culture. Ella von der Haide, the filmmaker, has documented community gardens across North America for several years, contributing to her broader series titled 'Another world is plantable!'. This film is the sixth installment in that series, focusing on social-ecological activism through gardening.
The documentary not only presents individual gardens but also emphasizes the collective impact of these gardeners on their communities. By sharing their stories, the gardeners illustrate how their queerness shapes their ecological practices and fosters a sense of belonging within the gardening community.
