Patagonia’s Lower Sioux Hempcrete Doc ‘Oscar Eligible’ After Winning CA Film Festival
By Jean Lotus, HempBuild Magazine
Hemp-lime construction expanded further into the national spotlight this week when a California film festival awarded first prize to a short documentary featuring the Morton, MN-based Lower Sioux hempcrete building team.
Patagonia’s 19-minute documentary “The Green Buffalo” had its first official film festival screening at the Santa Barbara International Film Festiva and is headed for more festivals, director Joel Caldwell told HempBuild Magazine. The film would be eligible for the Academy Awards in 2026, Caldwell said.
“Yes, we qualify for the Oscars, but would need to do well at several more film festivals to have any real chance of getting in,” Caldwell said via text.
