One Man Dies a Million Times chronicles the story of two young botanists as they fall in love as the world wages war around them. A record-breaking, desperate winter sets in and the city slowly, painfully, begins to starve to death. Savagery transplants civility. Maksim and Alyssa defend the seed bank and its priceless collection of edible specimens from the starving masses of the city, the enemy, hordes of rats, and each other. Alyssa (Alyssa Lozovskaya) and Maksim (Maksim Blinov) both work at the Institute of Plant Genetic Resources in the center of the city. The Institute houses the world's first seed bank—an irreplaceable trove of living genetic diversity which holds the potential both to preserve and transform modern agriculture. Part documentary, part legend, One Man Dies a Million Times is the true story of the seed bank and the botanists who worked there throughout the Siege of Leningrad (1941–1944). Though the characters portrayed in this film actually lived, and the events they experienced actually happened, this is not a reenactment. Director Jessica Oreck (Beetle Queen Conquers Tokyo, The Vanquishing of the Witch Baba Yaga) and cinematographer Sean Price Williams (Good Time, Her Smell, Frownland) artfully transplant their narrative from 1940's Leningrad to a science fiction-inflected modern day.

This is the latest installment of Harvest Public Media’s Field Notes , in which we talk about important issues related to food production. For more than a decade, fans of documentary film have flocked to Columbia, Mo., for the annual True/False Film Fest . The screenings start on Thursday. Many of this year’s films are set in big cities -- like Cairo, Rome and New York. But several works also focus on rural life. " Rich Hill " follows three teenagers growing up in a small Missouri community south of Kansas City. Jessica Oreck’s " The Vanquishing of the Witch Baba Yaga " uses animation and stunning scenes of everyday village life in Eastern Europe to tell the Slavic fairytale of Baba Yaga . The film is shot in Super 16. I spoke to Oreck from her home in New York a week before True/False. It was her first interview about "The Vanquishing of the Witch Baba Yaga ." There are many glimpses of farming in your documentary -- from sheep herding, to cutting grass with scythes, to mushroom
Jessica Oreck joins Grace Bonney for this week’s installment of After the Jump to talk about filmmaking, risk-taking, and trusting instincts.

This program has been sponsored by Bonnie Plants. “To me, I create because I want to create… I try not to think about the audience when I make the film. I am confident that if the audience puts forth a little bit of effort and is attentive, they will connect with the film.” [12:35] — Jessica Oreck on After the Jump
