The five films in this year’s programme reminded us that environmental crisis is never abstract - it is lived through landscapes, community, memory and resistance 🌿🎬

Agatha is coming to Warwick Arts Centre University of Warwick next weekend! 🎥 🌱

Join us for a special one-off screening of AGATHA’S ALMANAC, a beautifully observed documentary portrait of 90-year-old Agatha Bock, who lives independently on her ancestral farm in rural Manitoba, Canada.

Filmed over six years by director Amalie Atkins, the film offers a gentle yet powerful reflection on self-sufficiency, resilience, seasonal living, seed-saving, and our relationship with the natural world.
