Türkiye Premiere

Over seven hallucinatory days, a village with no name, in an undefined time and place, disappears. In Tsangari’s tragicomic take on a Western, townsman-turned-farmer Walter Thirsk and befuddled lord of the manor Charles Kent are childhood friends about to face an invasion from the outside world: the trauma of modernity. A fire blazes, tension rises, life as they know it quickly deteriorates, suspicion is rife. These are the first steps of the industrial revolution. Harvest is shot on 16 mm film with which director Tsangari departs from her focus on modern masculinity in ’Greek Weird Wave’ films Chevalier (2015) and Attenberg to tackle scapegoating strangers in times of economic hardship. Based on the novel by Jim Crace, Harvest premiered at the Venice Film Festival where it competed for the Golden Lion.
