Light Needs

Milwaukee Film Festival

LIGHT NEEDS is an experimental documentary about houseplants who cohabitate with people and the surprisingly intimate and complex relationships that can develop between them. Yet, this film is not just a document of houseplants, but rather a consideration of the benefits and losses accrued through the social contracts between plant and animal. LIGHT NEEDS looks to shine a light on the responsibility for care towards other living beings, by directly attending to the relationships humans have with nonhumans.

- Follow the 4/23 and 4/25 screenings there will be a Q&A with Jesse McLean (director, writer, crew)
