Over the course of seven days, life in a nameless village is thrown into disarray during a period of deep economic unrest. As fear and superstition take hold, the community turns against outsiders, while an authoritarian figure tightens his grip and the spectre of modernity looms ever closer. Filmed in the sun-soaked Scottish countryside using only natural light, Greek director Athina Rachel Tsangari crafts an unsettling and poetic drama – an atmospheric meditation on humanity’s fragile bond with the land.

Reviews

‘It’s a tragic film, but never a melodramatic one – tensions build slowly, and although the sense of impending collapse is present from the start, Tsangari’s sharp sensibilities compensate for any predictability’

‘Harvest stands strong and tall, a work solid as an oak. Full of a sensual love of nature and a distinctive vibe, it’s tangy like a home-brewed ale.’
