Review
Matthew Moore at Sundance Film Festival
By Scott Andrews
Moore’s work differentiates itself from the general discussion on sustainability by presenting material facts rather than jumping to remedies. Details flow after the initial visual impact, but are as flat as the daily farm reports recited on the airways. As a farm manager as well as an artist, Moore seems convinced of the impact of data, asking, “If it takes 160 days to grow a carrot, how does knowing that change your relationship to what you see in the supermarket?”

Fiction+ Two parallel life stories By Ann Klefstad
“Are things what they do, or are they what they call themselves? Are names descriptive or wishful? Should critics insist on names being used accurately and descriptively, is that part of our jobs? Maybe that’s why our jobs are largely obsolete—we get in the way of the cover story."
