Field Resistance
USA | 2019 | 15 min | 16mm
A prairie is set ablaze to stifle the expansion of an invasive species that targets human radio signals; colonies of lichen are researched as replicable models for human life; mutagenic crops grow rapidly under a specific wavelength of purple light. But humanity's attempt to mold nature in its own image is a double-edged sword: When catastrophe strikes, humans retreat to a network of ice caves, where they’ll make their last stand.
Charging scenes of the present with dystopian speculation, Field Resistance blurs the boundaries between documentary filmmaking and science fiction to investigate overlooked environmental devastation in the overlooked state of Iowa. Footage collected from disparate locations—a university herbarium, karst sinkholes inhabited by primordial flora and fauna, a telecommunication tower job site, a decaying grain silo, among others—interlocks to evoke a narrative of present danger and future disaster, of plant expansion and humanity’s retreat. The film rejects the human individual as the focus of narrative cinema, and, instead, adopts the perspective of a symbiotic “implosive whole” in which human and nonhumans are related in an overlapping, non-total way.
