A Life On The Farm
2020, 95 minutes
A strange story from Somerset about a filmmaking farmer and his long-lost home movies.
A Life On The Farm is an exploration and celebration of Charles Carson and his movies, which present a moving and laugh-out-loud document of a time and place in danger of being lost to history. Self-shooting, editing and scoring everything manually, Charles' home movies are hilarious, imaginative and completely unique. If you're looking for skeletons riding lawnmowers; cow births from multiple angles; a rendition of Scotland The Brave performed on pieces of tractor machinery; or a close-up look at a placenta, you'll love "Life On The Farm".
