Agatha's Almanac --
Film Description:
"Agatha Bock, a lively, independent woman, continues to tend her land with care, passion, and expertise at the age of 90. A DIY enthusiast for decades, this ambassador for adhesive tape in all its shapes and forms quickly proves herself as someone equally endearing and memorable. Whether she's at work in her luxurious garden or inside her century-old house, surrounded by countless neatly organized objects labelled in her handwriting, she shares stories, reflections on life, and information on agriculture, food preservation, and processing. This unique, colourful universe is beautifully captured on 16mm film under the creative direction of her niece, filmmaker Amalie Atkins. This warm, personal portrait adopts a deft and consistent artisanal style down to the credits and resonates entirely with the third house rule: have fun."
