Regulations in the agricultural sector are on everyone’s mind nowadays. Director Sophie Jarvis gives voice to the ones affected by them. After finding a potentially harmful insect cannery worker Robin follows protocol to protect her community of peach growing farmers, but finds herself battling sexism and a hostile corporation that is dead set on making sure the machine never stops. 

We will close the eco competition in style by joining forces with La Bancarella for a closing party on Friday on the 12th of May from 23:00-05:00.

The film is part of Sprouts Film Festival 2023, which will be held May 10-14. For more information about our festival and the SproutsFF23 films , click here. All selected feature films are competing for the Audience Award, so please do not forget to cast your vote when leaving the screening room. A three-headed jury consisting of industry professionals is in charge of selecting a winner from the films in the Debut Competition, while a three-headed jury of sustainability oriented students will do the same for the Eco Competition and the Eco Shorts Program.

All SproutsFF23 films are English subtitled, except for How to Blow Up a Pipeline and Vesper (which are English spoken and Dutch subtitled).
