              Agatha’s Almanac

              Amalie Atkins / Canada / 2025 / World Premiere / 87 min

              Defying modernity, 90-year-old Agatha forges a solitary existence on her ancestral farm preserving heirloom seeds. A film from a vanishing world, immersing us in a handmade universe.

              The sun shines through a sealed jar of berries. An envelope of seeds marked with neat handwriting. The quiet drama of the changing seasons. ‘Agatha’s Almanac’ is a sensuous and cinematic portrait of 90-year-old Agatha who defies modernity and capitalism in favor of a simple, self-sufficient life on her ancestral farm. 

              Here she tends her land and grows heirloom seeds that have been passed down for generations. Watermelons, beans, flowers, herbs and vegetables – her large garden provides her with everything she needs. The farm looks like it did in the 1950s and is in every way off the grid. Artist Amalie Atkins has created her portrait by hand in the spirit of her 90-year-old aunt: ‘Agatha’s Almanac’ was crafted on analog 16mm film over six years with a small all-female crew. 

              Just as there is no modern technology in Agatha’s life, there are no modern political slogans to shout along to. It’s all action and consequence in one of the most uncompromisingly feminist films of the year. The fact that it’s also one of the most beautiful only testifies to how closely the two things are connected.
