A gripping, timely drama about a world in upheaval

Adapted from Jim Crace’s acclaimed novel, HARVEST plunges us into a remote agrarian village, where a fragile community faces invasion—not just by outsiders, but by the relentless forces of modernity. Over seven hallucinatory days, their way of life unravels as a map-maker, transient strangers, and a landowner threaten to seize the commons.

Featuring an outstanding cast including: 

• Caleb Landry Jones (Nitram, Get Out)
• Harry Melling (The Pale Blue Eye, The Tragedy of Macbeth)
• Rosy McEwen (Blue Jean)

Filmed entirely in Oban, Argyll, and the Western Highlands, this Scottish-made drama is a powerful reflection on land, power, and environmental upheaval.

Director’s Statement:

"With this film, an adaptation of Jim Crace’s novel Harvest, we had the chance to examine the moment when it all began for us, 21st century heirs to a universal story of land loss. To me, Harvest is a film about reckoning. What have we done? Where do we go from here? How can we salvage our soil, the self within the commons? Harvest takes place in a threshold realm, tracing the first ruptures of the industrial “revolution”. And revolution it hasn’t been.

An agrarian community is disrupted by three breeds of outsiders: the map-maker, the people on the move, and the company man--all archetypes of shattering change. The future is not part of the story­ – it will happen off screen, in a world we are not meant to see. There are no heroes. Only imperfect, ordinary folks. I imagined it as a daguerreotype, or its modern equivalent, a polaroid being slowly exposed to twilight.”
