HARMONIA Starring Bella Ramsey Filming In BC

Harmonia the new thriller starring Bella Ramsey will begin filming next month in BC.

Oscar-winning director Guy Nattiv writes and directs the feature film, already acquired by Bleecker Street for US distribution. Carrie Coon, Lily James and Odessa Young also star.

Harmonia is set in the 1980s and based on Nattiv’s grandmother’s experience with an insidious cult. Rita (Coon), unraveling from past wounds, meets a radiant young spiritual leader (James) after a chance encounter.

Following her into the all-female commune known as Harmonia, Rita leaves her life and family behind until her daughters, Ella (Ramsey), and Jo (Young), embark on a dangerous journey to rescue their mother. Once immersed in the commune, they find themselves inexorably drawn into the leader’s labyrinthine web of pseudo-spiritual and psychological manipulation.

Nativ had this to say about the project:

“Harmonia is born from the true story of my grandmother—a woman whose quiet strength and unspoken pain left an indelible mark on our family. For years, her story lived in the shadows, and now, at last, I’m giving it voice. I couldn’t ask for more soulful collaborators than Carrie, Lily, Bella, and Odessa. Each of them brings a deep, intuitive grace to these layered characters, and their commitment to tell my story is tremendously moving.”

Filming began this weekend in Port Alberni, British Columbia and will run until 20 August 2025.

Julia Lebedev and Eddie Vaisman are producing for Sight Unseen, Jaime Ray Newman and Nattiv for New Native Pictures and Oren Moverman. Leonid Lebedev will serve as Executive Producer.
