Magic Farm

Fake it ‘til you make it. The latest gem from Amalia Ulman (El Planeta) takes us on a kaleidoscopic journey packed with twists and turns, cross-cultural encounters and true personalities.

When a misguided American documentary crew in search of their next viral segment ends up in the wrong town in rural Argentina, chaos ensues. As they collaborate with locals to fake a new music trend, unexpected relationships form and an unfolding health crisis becomes apparent.

Colorful and unfiltered, MAGIC FARM is led by a stellar ensemble including Chloë Sevigny, Alex Wolff and Simon Rex. Shot through with a vivid sense of place, this Berlinale and Sundance selection combines a surreal send-up of the media with a heartfelt exploration of humanity.

“A formally radical, biting satire.” – Carlos Aguilar, Variety

“The cast, led by Chloe Sevigny and Alex Wolff, ably skewer the American media’s ignorance of the wider world, but Ulman’s compassionate film holds out hope that different peoples can still make connections.”  – Tim Grierson, Screen International
