International sales agency Lightdox has acquired Amalie Atkins’ debut feature documentary “Agatha’s Almanac,” ahead of its world premiere at Copenhagen Intl. Documentary Film Festival, also known as CPH:DOX.
The movie that is featured in the main competition, called “Dox:Award,” will make its premiere on Sunday, followed by a question-and-answer session with Atkins.
The movie named “Dox:Award” will have its first showing on Sunday. After that, there will be a discussion with Atkins where questions are asked and answered.
“Agatha’s Almanac” follows the fiercely independent 90-year-old Agatha Bock as she tends to her ancestral farm, preserving heirloom seeds and maintaining a way of life that predates modern conveniences. Without a car, cell phone, running water, or a functioning landline, Agatha’s daily rituals serve as a living archive of a vanishing era, offering insight into a nearly lost generation.
Filmed using 16mm film over a span of six years by an exclusively female crew, including cinematographer Rhayne Vermette, the movie is said to “embrace the tangible essence that is characteristic of both the medium of film and Agatha’s tactile environment,” as stated.
The film is produced by Atkins for Minema Cinema Productions.
Anna Berthollet, founder and CEO of Lightdox, said: “Amalie Atkins’ distinct artistic voice and commitment to handcrafted storytelling make this film a truly unique and resonant cinematic experience. With its meticulous visual language and deeply human narrative, ‘Agatha’s Almanac’ is a stunning work that not only documents a disappearing way of life but also immerses us in an atmosphere of tranquility—a stark counterpoint to the hectic contemporary life.”
Atkins, a multidisciplinary artist based in Saskatoon, Canada, is known for her work in 16mm film, performance and installation art. “Her practice merges traditional storytelling with a hands-on, do-it-yourself aesthetic, resulting in cinematic fables that blur the boundaries between reality and folklore,” the statement read.
Additionally, Lightdox will be presenting IFFR Tiger Award and FIPRESCI Prize winner “Fiume o morte!” by Igor Bezinović at CPH:DOX.
