Festival Director

A note from the Festival Director

I am a filmmaker and a lover of agriculture.  I am based out of Los Angeles and Vacaville, CA.  "The Ag & Art Film Festival" is my attempt to mash together two of my loves!  Let's celebrate film and art and agriculture, all three things that feed our souls, together in the cute Northern Californian agriculture town of Vacaville, California.  Have a question?  Drop me a line!  I look forward to celebrating Ag & Art (and film) with you!


- Lisa Murray

Raising Money for the Farmers Affected by the LNU Lightening

See a movie or make a donation - or both!

During the regular festival, a portion of the ticket and pass sales are going directly to the farmers who were affected most by the fire. 


We are also partnering with local businesses to offer "Family Movie Nights" and 100% of the proceeds go directly to one specific farm. 


9/19: "Biggest Little Farm" at Hank & Hazels, proceeds will be donated to Samuels Ranch for their sheep that were burned. Their medical care is expensive, we are raising money to help offset that expense. 


Check back... more are being scheduled now!


Contact us if you would like to host a screening at your locaiton!

"KY Place: Hemp State"

Hemp has slowly been making a comeback in the United States, and Kentucky is leading the way. But questions remain about the equity, sustainability, and overall future of the broader cannabis industry.


"Against the Tide: Shellfish Growers Push Back Against Climate Change"

“Against The Tide” documents the very personal stories of shellfish business owners from the East, West and Gulf coasts, their experience with climate change, and their motivation to take action. The film is a product of the Shellfish Growers Climate Coalition (SGCC), a project led by The Nature Conservancy in concert with 150+ business owners from 20 states. The Coalition is harnessing the power of the its members’ compelling stories of how climate change is having real impacts, right now, on their business and the coastal communities they come from. Many have been making their living from coastal waters for generations, and their companies form the backbone of their communities.


"Cedar Creek"

Cedar Creek is a thought-provoking short film about one small but important creek in Jefferson County, Iowa and what happened to the water and the wildlife when the creek was altered. Written and directed by award-winning documentarian Dick DeAngelis and made possible by a Community Art Gathering grant from the BeWildReWild Fund.

Community Supported Agriculture is an excellent way to source farm-fresh food. April Joy Farm, located in SW Washington, is an example of how a CSA functions and spotlights a family whose trips to the farm bring opportunities for fun and education.
