The premiere of “Unearthed” short films from Indiana Humanities encourages Hoosiers to discover and discuss their relationships with the natural world. Special reception to follow on the Tobias stage.

Salazar composed the music for Worm Land, a short film included in the Indy Shorts Film Festival with Heartland Film.

From the shores of Lake Michigan to the fields and farms of central Indiana, the Indiana Humanities Unearthed Film Series features Indiana filmmakers exploring the unique relationships between Hoosiers and the land we call Indiana. Through these intimate looks into the lives of Indiana residents working, exploring, and caring for the land, the films document new perspectives on how Hoosiers today understand their connections to the natural world.

Indiana Humanities is a statewide nonprofit that infuses the humanities—topics like history, literature, philosophy, and cultural studies—into our daily lives. They do this by providing grants, convening discussions, uplifting humanities scholars, spotlighting cultural organizations and activities, and creating their own programs that encourage Hoosiers to think, read and talk. You can learn more about Indiana Humanities' programs and grants by visiting www.IndianaHumanities.org or following them on social media @INhumanities.

In "Worm Land," farmer Keith Miller champions sustainable agriculture, embracing no-till practices and advocating for nightcrawlers - not the little wigglers. As he faces retirement, he reflects on a lifetime dedicated to the land.
