Tsawwassen filmmaker Jocelyn Demers will be screening his new documentary on ecologically responsible farming tomorrow in Vancouver.

New Farms, Big Success presents three types of projects that are successful and responsible at the same time, Demers says.

Demers visited Les Jardins de la Grelinette in Quebec, Essex Farm in New York and Lufa Farms, which has rooftop greenhouses in Montreal, for the film.

He also uses footage of Bill McKibben, an American environmentalist and “a giant of sustainability,” as well as an interview with a United Nations official.

The screening tomorrow is set for 8:30 p.m. at Eternal Abundance, 1025 Commercial Dr. The price is $8, including an organic snack.

The documentary will also be shown Saturday, Oct. 25 at 6, 7:15 and 8:35 p.m. at The Cultch, 1895 Venables St., Vancouver. The price is $10. Visit http://thecultch.com/contact/box-office or call 604-251-1363.
Demers will be at both events.

His previous documentary, Saving the Life Keepers, delved into the new science of sustainable beekeeping.
