READ THE SYNOPSIS
Attention, found-footage enthusiasts! Get ready to discover a real-life gem that’s equal parts morbid and hilarious, oddly endearing, and definitely stranger than fiction. Sixteen years ago, filmmaker Oscar Harding’s grandfather, who lived in the rural country of Somerset, England, sadly passed away. Amongst his possessions was a dusty VHS tape that was gifted to him by his quirky farmer neighbour named Charles Carson… But when Harding, who was still a young boy at the time, sat down with his family to watch the mysterious video, its bizarre contents quickly prompted his parents to shut it off. Over a decade later, having never quite forgotten about what he saw, he gave it another go and was immediately enthralled: between ceremonious cat funerals, skeleton tractor races, and explicit lessons in cow birthing, old Carson’s film was a wildly imaginative self-shot documentary about his everyday life at Coombe End Farm.
