Fake it ‘til you make it. The latest gem from Amalia Ulman (El Planeta), Magic Farm 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.

Colourful 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.

The Wed 21 May 18:00 screening will be introduced by film curator Lorena Pino. Join Lorena in the Café & Bar after the screening for the Latinas in Bristol Film Club meet up and informal chat.
