Treasures From Thorshøjgaard

by Phie Ambo

I am pleased to present two films from Thorshøjgaard – a biodynamic farm in Denmark that I love.This farm is quite unique. Here, all organisms are given the space to live and enrich each other, and I knew from the moment I saw it, that I could not possibly embrace this magic place in just one film. Therefore I chose to shoot two different films at the same time and place. Good Things Await is the story about Niels Stokholm and his wife Rita who in spite of oppositions from the authorities, run their farm with great love for all living beings on the ground. Songs from the Soil is a film without dialogue, but with music by Arvo Pärt. I made this film to pay tribute to the biodiversity on the farm.
