Screening of "Dwelling: A Measure of Life in the Atlanta Forest"

  • Institute 193 215 N Limestone Lexington, KY 40507 United States (map)

Dwelling: A Measure of Life in the Atlanta Forest (2023, 40 min.) follows one Atlanta forest defender's quixotic attempt to build a hut by hand in the forest occupation at the center of the fight against Cop City. 

By patiently following the building process, the observational film explores how the utopian visions of the movement meet the practical challenges of living in the forest. As a militant struggle unfolds offscreen, the film contemplates the nature of work, technology, and making a home.
