Filmed on the regenerative and biodynamic grounds of Magical Farm Tasmania in lutruwita, the Festive Agriculture film by Anna Mata weaves together soil, seed, silence and story, capturing a season in the life of a farm that is more than a place: it is a living being, that can be part of transforming community life and economies.
Filmed at Magical Farm Tasmania during the inaugural Festive Agriculture Day, this short film captures a profound gathering of community, culture, and land. Anchored by a collaboration with renowned localisation pioneer Helena Norberg-Hodge, the film offers a quiet yet powerful portrait of what happens when people reconnect with food, place, and one another.
Through weaving, seed swapping, shared meals, song, and ceremonial welcome, Festive Agriculture reminds us that regeneration is not just a technical process, it is a celebration. Set against the backdrop of Tasmania’s heart-shaped island, and interwoven with biodynamic and First Nations wisdom, this film invites viewers to reimagine agriculture as a living festival of place, story, and possibility.
