Community Stories, Climate Realities — Film Screening & Q&A

Set against the living landscape of the Farminary at Princeton Theological Seminary, this early screening with Allison Carruth offers a rare glimpse into her forthcoming documentary with BlueLab Media. Featuring vignettes from the California Film Project, the evening explores the fragile and resilient worlds of oysters, giant kelp, and abalone—and the human communities intertwined with them in a changing climate. Surrounded by fields, water, and wildlife, the Farminary becomes an extension of the film itself, inviting deeper attention to the stories shaping our ecological future. A Q&A with Carruth will follow.

About the Farminary:

The Farminary is a place where theological education is integrated with small-scale regenerative agriculture to train faith leaders who are conversant in the areas of ecology, sustainability, and food justice. It is designed to train students to challenge society’s 24–7 culture of productivity by following a different rhythm, one that is governed by the seasons and Sabbath. “The project’s main goal is to form leaders by cultivating ecological and agricultural sensibilities within them like paying attention to the seasons, understanding the interconnectedness of life and death, and becoming comfortable with failure,” says Nate Stucky, director of the Farminary Project.
