Saultopaul
Atlanta-based artist Susan Cofer invited Georgia-born filmmaker John Henry Summerour (Sahkanaga) to spend a year documenting Saultopaul, an 1100-acre farm in northwest Georgia populated by Longhorn cattle, gigantic rock sculptures and Carl, her husband in his 80th year. This film follows four seasons of quests, folly, family and what might be a prehistoric fossilized fish. It's a portrait of time, and a time capsule of something that cannot last. Join Carl as he journeys through everyday Damascus moments to uncover the secret to life, death, and life after death-through art, storytelling and a little absurdity.
