Leo Barraclough International Features Editor 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 film, which plays in the main competition section, called Dox:Award, will have its debut on Sunday, followed by a Q&A with Atkins. “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.

Shot over six years on 16mm film by an all-female crew, including cinematographer Rhayne Vermette, the film “captures the handmade materiality inherent in both the medium of film and Agatha’s tactile world,” according to a statement.
