[hackerspaces] Hacking at Leaves

[J. Grenzfurthner [Das Ende der Nahrungskette]]

Hey folks!

I've finished my documentary feature, "Hacking at 
Leaves". It will premiere at the Diagonale Film 
Festival in Graz, Austria, on April 6th. 
Additionally, I'm planning to tour with it, 
screening at various festivals and hackerspaces.

HACKING AT LEAVES
A film by Johannes Grenzfurthner (2024; 108 min.)

'Hacking at Leaves' documents artist and 
hazmat-suit aficionado Johannes Grenzfurthner as 
he attempts to come to terms with the United 
States' colonial past, Navajo tribal history, and 
the hacker movement. The story hones in on a 
small tinker space in Durango, Colorado, that 
made significant contributions to worldwide COVID 
relief efforts. But things go awry when Uncle Sam 
interferes with the film's production.
