We're proud to present the UK Premiere of Agatha's Almanac in Folkestone. Fiercely independent 90-year-old Agatha Bock lives alone on her ancestral farm. Despite health challenges, she defiantly tends to her land, cultivating heirloom seeds passed down through generations. Employing antiquated techniques, Agatha plants and harvests her expansive field of watermelons, beans, flowers, herbs, and vegetables entirely by hand.
Without a car, cell phone, running water, or even a functioning landline, Agatha’s meditative processes and daily rituals form a vivid counterpoint to the rapid pace of contemporary life. Made intentionally with sensory-sensitive viewers in mind, the film carves out a (mostly) calm space in a chaotic world.

After Eight
We're also delighted to present the UK Premiere of After Eight, a film that uncovers the darker side of Britain’s post-pub curry culture. Telling the story of Satpal Ram, the film unveils a major miscarriage of justice in British history and sparks reflection on the ongoing struggle for racial equality.
