This short documentary follows a day in the life of Vic/Nike and Brynn - two non-binary, queer, trans folk who live near the town of Springfield, in rural Nova Scotia, Canada. In 2021, they bought twelve acres of field and forest to build a farm and collective housing for members of the community historically excluded from rural spaces, including but not limited to BIPOC, 2SLGBTQIA+ and disabled folks. They imagine it to become a physical manifestation of the concept of commoning, where they wish “to see the redistribution of wealth and resources into the collective stewardship of community”. The film is a glimpse into the making of the first collective house, assisted by community members, as well as a tour of the forested land that they plan to build on and share in the future.

Increasingly, nature has become more of a luxury for city dwellers to access in our everyday life, an indicator closely tied to real estate value and the process of gentrification. Meanwhile, our building industry is established upon the constant exploitation of nature and the production of waste. Can we redefine and up-cycle trash to create public space that serves us all? This project by Ensemble Studio transcends the shackles of a tight budget and designed a public corridor with recycled CDs and leftover quarry stones - a gigantic sculpture, a playground, a microcosmos of nature that welcomes everyone to rest, wander, play, and decompress.
