Active Cultures and Now Instant present Seeds, a three-part cinematic meditation on new beginnings, hidden power, and pivotal transformation.

Seeds are more than sources of nourishment. They hold ancestral memory: essential for preserving biodiversity, food sovereignty, and cultural heritage, resisting colonial displacement and destruction. These tiny vessels are also powerful symbols. Moving beyond the botanical, this artist-led film series delves into life’s eternal cycles, the strength of resilience, the wonder of germination, and the quiet wisdom found in dormancy.

The second film in the series, Tending the Wild, is selected by Andrea Jimenez of Herb Club LA. The screening will be followed by a conversation with Andrea and Joel Garcia, Director of Meztli Projects. Together, they will discuss the film’s themes in relation to their work with people and plants in the local community, as well as reflections on the past ten years since the film was made.
