Join us for the theatrical premiere of A Dairy Story, an award-winning documentary, screening first in cinemas in region it was filmed in.
Best known locally as the former Cream o’ Galloway ‘ice cream farm’, David and Wilma Finlay transformed Rainton Farm near Gatehouse-of-Fleet from a conventional family dairy farm to organic, regenerative, and now a pioneering cow-with-calf dairy system.
Filmed over two years, A Dairy Story shows how changing a farming system changes everything; from the lives of the animals to the wellbeing of the farmers, and perhaps even the future of dairy farming itself.
In the past two months the film has already won Best Documentary at the IndieCork Film Festival and the Audience Award at the Central Scotland Documentary Festival in Stirling.
The screening will be followed by an optional Q&A with David Finlay and Charles Ellett of Rainton Farm, with complimentary hot drinks.
