The Horseman
NEW DOCS
Cameraman Peter Gerdehag and editor Tell Johannsson tell the story of Stig-Anders, an old-fashioned farmer in a remote village in Sweden, in pictures as big and grand as all outdoors. Stig-Anders continues to farm his family’s land with his team of trusting horses and care for the great trees of his forest as if they were tender seedlings. He lives on the bread he bakes for himself and nearly dies in a Lear-like storm. Epic and intimate at once, The Horseman captures a rapidly vanishing way of life. RR
