UPCOMING EVENTS

  • Cinetopia DOC: Agatha's Almanac + Recorded Q&A

    21 January, 8.15pm at FILMHOUSE

    Fiercely independent 90-year-old Agatha Bock lives alone on her ancestral farm. Despite health challenges, she defiantly tends to her land, cultivating heirloom seeds passed down through generations. Employing antiquated techniques, Agatha plants and harvests her expansive field of watermelons, beans, flowers, herbs, and vegetables entirely by hand.

    Without a car, cell phone, running water, or even a functioning landline, Agatha’s meditative processes and daily rituals form a vivid counterpoint to the rapid pace of contemporary life.

    Made intentionally with sensory sensitive viewers in mind, the film carves out a (mostly) calm space in a chaotic world.
