THE FILMS

?️ Humus (2022, Canada, 92 min, FR w/Eng sub): According to the FAO, the earth’s topsoil could vanish within 60 years, worn away by erosion. Aware that time is running out, a pair of market gardeners strive to implement nature’s fundamental principles in their fields in an attempt to forge a new alliance with all living organisms, a stance that requires great humility. Their quest is guided by ancient and new-found knowledge that confirms the interdependence of all that lives, the result of millions of years of co-evolution. 

[Les sols partent en poussière. Selon l’Organisation des Nations unies pour l’agriculture et l’alimentation (FAO), la totalité des terres arables de la planète pourraient avoir disparu d’ici 60 ans. Un sort qui guette même nos riches terres noires de la Montérégie. Devant l’urgence d’instaurer un autre rapport avec la nature, François D’Aoust a choisi il y a quinze ans d’être responsable d’un petit bout de terre dans l’univers. Tournant le dos à l’approche extractiviste qui traite le sol comme une mine à ciel ouvert, ce maraîcher et sa compagne travaillent à mettre en oeuvre dans leurs jardins les grands principes de la nature, à la recherche d’une nouvelle alliance avec le vivant. Des savoirs anciens et nouveaux les guident sur ce chemin, des savoirs qui réaffirment la complexité d’un monde interdépendant, fruit de milliards d’années de coévolution.]
