Event Details

Presented and Hosted by the Crosshatch Center for Art & Ecology and the Au Sable Institute. Supported by MyNorth Media and the Elk Rapids Cinema. RSVPs are highly encouraged but not required.


Writer and evangelist Wendell Berry has been called the “prophet of rural America.” In more than 50 works of fiction, non-fiction and poetry, he has painted rural life with complexity, insight and beauty. In 2010 President Obama bestowed Berry with the National Medal for Arts and Humanities.

Filmed across four seasons in the farming cycle, LOOK & SEE: A PORTRAIT OF WENDELL BERRY is a documentary film that blends observations, interviews, and evocative photography. In the spirit of Berry’s agrarian philosophy, farming itself emerges as a character in the film - a place and a landscape that is deeply interdependent with the people that inhabit it.

Produced by Robert Redford, Terrence Mallick and Nick Offerman, this 80 minute tribute to a uniquely American artist appeared at the Sundance, Berlin, HotDocs and SXSW Film Festivals.

“The traditional farmer, that is the farmer who was first independent, who first fed himself off his farm and then fed other people, who farmed with his family and who passed the land on down to people who knew it and had the best reasons to take care of it... that farmer stood at the convergence of traditional values... our values.”— Wendell Berry
