Harvesting Happiness is a documentary about community supported agriculture – CSA for short – in the Netherlands. A portrait of six headstrong farmers, who have each created their own individual model of CSA. Inspired by the third European CSA conference in Ostrava, Czech Republic September 2016, this documentary was made to show what CSA looks like in the Netherlands.

Not my land is a documentary about people who have worked on allotment gardens near the Tallinn airport for over 30 years. Allotments are.

The film follows the many different stories of people who came to Estonia during the Soviet period to work in the Dvigatel factory. These workers were allocated an allotment for growing vegetables near the factory. They soon started to plant their crops, build small summerhouses and trade allotments with each other. The story of their allotment gardens is an allegory of the fall of the Soviet Union, as seen through their eyes. The owners of the allotments all have different ethnic origins, and today hold passports of different former Soviet states. In only a few days, the last pages of Soviet history will be turned. Progress is knocking on the door of history. We can almost hear the sound of "the trees being cut", like at the end of Anton Chekhov's "Cherry Orchard". Look out, past! The bulldozers are coming...
