An insight into the concepts of Permaculture, sustainabiliy and community through the eyes of the residents of the 40-acre community farm Jasper Hall in Australia. I visited this community on my round-the-world journey with a wish to get my hands dirty but ended up, as usual, behind the camera, this time to try to help save the community from local council bulldozers.
This is the 3-minute trailer which introduces the 33-minute documentary.
And here’s the full version. (This is what they wanted, I call it the “short version” as I imagine making a longer version for myself later on.)
Full project description coming soon.
Thanks for preserving this record of Jasper Hall Martin!
So much love to you
Lots of love to everyone down there! Stay in touch, Luke!
hi martin, just watched the films again and it brought good memories to my heart! i wonder if you ever saved the long version, e.g. the i hour one…i have a copy but poor quality
Hey Andi, good to hear from you!!! Yeah, good memories, for sure, for me too! So… by “the long version” I think you mean my first rough cut (starting with my feet walking through the leaves…?) that I shared with all of you, you commented on it and then I shortened it down to what you see above? Yes, without having checked, I see no reason why that version shouldn’t exist on the hard drive where the whole project still lives. (If you mean the long version I some day wanted to – and perhaps still want to – make, then no, I haven’t made it!). Ah, you say you have a copy… I must have sent you a low quality copy from Brazil for you to comment on. Where I live now my internet is even worse and uploads are very difficult. I very rarely go to town but I could try to upload it to Vimeo or something the next time I go…? What do you want it for?
Really nice video! I went wish my push bike from Sydney to there where I spent 10 days volunteering in 2014. I didn’t know how big this place is. I’m sad I didn’t stay longer and got to know the whole farm.
Good job! Hope they’re still thriving!
Cheers from Brazil!
