CHARLIE OBERT'S BARN
with director Kurt Kolaja
Director: Kurt Kolaja
Release Date: 2008
Genre: Documentary
Plot: Old farmers pass the family farm down to sons - that is just the way it works.  Through six generations, the way held on the Obert farm. It ended with Charlie. After inheriting the place Charlie's son Milo sold it and moved away. Directed by former Baltimorean Kurt Kolaja, this film documents his efforts to move his grandfather's century-old barn from northeastern Pennsylvania to Queen Anne's County. A building gets reused, some feelings are patched up, and voices long silenced whisper. It's about family. It's about work. It's about life.
