Synopsis

90-year-old Agatha Bock maintains her ancestral farm and heirloom seeds without modern amenities, preserving traditional practices through daily routines that document a fading way of life.
Moviegoers are saying
Agatha's Almanac captures hearts as a meditative slow-cinema gem following an elderly woman's daily gardening rituals, with audiences praising its 'punk ecofeminist grandma' energy and therapeutic pacing that serves as an antidote to modern life's relentless speed. While some viewers found the deliberate pace challenging (especially during an infamously slow watermelon-peeling scene), most were deeply moved by Agatha's sustainable lifestyle and the film's gorgeous 16mm cinematography paired with ambient nature sounds.

    VIFF 2025 #3 With the star herself in attendance and Q&A. Agatha gave out her phone number to the whole room and told us to call her with more questions 🥹 What a treat for the eyes and the soul. Reminded me so much of my Nana and it was obvious everyone in the audience…
