Tamer Soliman and Sarah Douglas, of March Forth Creative Inc. will  produce and present Depth of Field: Films About Farming – 40 short documentaries highlighting farm stories from across Canada.

The filmmakers will begin traveling and filming on location this spring, completing the documentaries by 2024. Depth of Field will connect Canadians with a diversity of farmers who are playing a key role in the solution to the climate crisis, highlighting their sustainable initiatives. Depth of Field will give Canadians an opportunity to learn about agriculture in Canada from the farmers, farm workers, producers and land stewards themselves. Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) is providing the NFU with up to $253,726 in funding for this project through the AgriCommunication Program.

The National Farmers Union says Depth of Field will help Canadians understand more about farmers, addressing an awareness gap in our food system.

The NFU will share the films online and via local screenings in collaboration with other farmer organizations during the fall and winter of 2023-2024.
