Some Interesting Apples is a community film about the UK's only orchard solely dedicated to the cultivation of selected wild-grown chance-seedling apples. These are often roadside apple trees, 'planted' unwittingly by someone who drove past and chucked their apple core out of the car window. If the variety is resilient enough, it will grow into a tree, however tough the conditions are.
"When it comes to addressing ecological collapse it can very frequently feel overwhelming and I guess if the Some Interesting Apples project, in being able to perpetuate the growth of top fruit in this country fulfils that tiny tiny purpose, then we are contributing something ourselves, and it feels that that's a little, tiny slice of power"
William Arnold and James Fergusson, founders of Some Interesting Apples.
This film was made as part of Ffern's Autumn 25 Campaign.
