Several Futures is an independent film distributor with a focus on auteurist and anti-imperialist work. The label was founded in 2022 by filmmaker and programmer Graham L. Carter in the hopes of bringing films to North America that might otherwise not be released. “My loyalty is always with the oppressed.” - Heiny Srour.

Accompanied by a small crew, Creton and Barré follow paleobotanist Mark Brown across seven locations in Normandy as he seeks out native plants from which an ancient garden could be created and explains, with the loving tenderness of a true expert, the etymology, beauty, and scientific properties of the region’s flora.

Beautiful

"7 Walks with Mark Brown is a quiet, reflective film that finds meaning in simple conversations and shared experiences. Mark Brown brings a thoughtful, grounded presence that gives each walk a sense of purpose and calm. It’s a low-key, meditative watch that gently explores connection, perspective, and everyday life."

Shawn M. (5/5)

An incredible film, using botany

"An incredible film, using botany as a lens to look at the world and our relationship to it. Beautifully packaged and presented."

Mr T. (5/5)

Beautiful Doc

"Really down to earth and engaging documentary. Well shot and educational. Love the contained environments we go into, showing a hidden side of the world many don’t get to see or appreciate. Excellent packaging and slip for this"

Maximillian G. (5/5)

Great

"Accompanied by a film crew, a paleobotanist searches for native plants in Normandy to recreate an ancient garden, sharing insights on their etymology and scientific properties."

Sebastian V. (5/5)

Peaceful and mesmerizing

"Was not prepared for how wonderful this is. Comes with an excellent interview in the extras and some great short films, making it excellent value."

Gav R. (5/5)

Hypnotic, soothing

"It's too easy to forget that an existence of deep affinity and joy for knowledge still exists, and is possible. Did you feel a knot of anxiety you weren't aware of relax, too?"

Stephen B. (5/5)

Great Doc

"More docs please."
