MUBI To Stream Magic Farm On Its Service From June 6th.

Starring Chloë Sevigny, Alex Wolff, Joe Apollonio, and Simon Rex, Magic Farm will be available to stream on MUBI soon. Get the details here.

MUBI, the global distributor, streaming service and production company, is pleased to announce that artist and filmmaker Amalia Ulman’s (El Planeta) Magic Farm will be available to stream exclusively on MUBI from 6 June 2025.

Starring Chloë Sevigny (Monsters, Boys Don’t Cry). Alex Wolff (A Quiet Place: Day One, Oppenheimer). Joe Apollonio. Camila del Campo. Simon Rex (Red Rocket, Blink Twice) and Amalia Ulman herself. The origins of Magic Farm emerged from hipster journalism. Typified in the 2010s by Vice News, where unserious, semi-gonzo film crews visited “third world” countries in search of a bizarre story and a catchy headline.

PREMISE

In this film, a film crew working for an edgy media company travels to Argentina to profile a local musician. But their ineptitude leads them into the wrong country. As the crew collaborates with locals to fabricate a trend, unexpected connections blossom. While a pervasive health crisis looms unacknowledged in the background.

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.

Colourful and unfiltered, MAGIC FARM is led by a stellar ensemble that includes Chloë Sevigny, Alex Wolff, and Simon Rex. Shot 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.

AMALIA ULMAN

Amalia Ulman is an artist and filmmaker based in New York. Her first film, El Planeta, premiered at Sundance 2021. And was the opening night selection at MoMA’s New Directors/New Films 2021. It was nominated for two Gotham Awards in 2021 and won the Heterodox Award at the 2022 Cinema Eye Honors. In the realm of fine arts, Ulman’s work has often dealt with performance and storytelling. Her innovative work Excellences & Perfections (2014) stands out as one of the first pieces to incorporate fiction into social media. Rhizome archived it at the New Museum in New York City. And exhibited at the Tate Modern and Whitechapel Gallery in London, among others.
