This film is about The Gnomes: three Irish guys who built a small, biologically intensive farm on a disused part of the Dublin City University (DCU) campus in Glasnevin, Dublin. It's a story about the use of land, the agency one has over their life, and the role of community in urban areas. It was included in both the Fastnet and Still Voices Film Festivals in 2020.
we're using horticulture as a medium, in order to change society
We had one wheelbarrow, one shovel and a few other hand tools
We invest our own time, our energy and finances into producing a biologically intensive market-farm which we put out heart and soul into
The Gnomes are Martin Matthews, Jason Maguire and Shane Matthews.
