Food Film Fest The Tale of Silyan Film Evening in Lievegem
What happens when a farmer threatens to lose his land, income and family? The Tale of Silyan tells the moving story of Nikola, a farmer who no longer sees a future in the countryside due to economic pressure and changing policies. When he cares for an injured white stork, a special bond forms that gives him renewed hope and connection. Against the background of migration, climate change and the difficult position of family farming, a visually impressive and compelling story unfolds. Lokaal Mondiaal Lievegem in collaboration with Groentegem, de Molenkouter and Wervel.
Q&A session about a "fair wage" with Wouter Coussement van Rosephine & about "Bioburen" - 8 organic farms joining forces. We conclude with a 'h'honest cup of (weed)-herb tea. Because the more (weed)herb tea we drink, the more bees, butterflies and birds we bring back to our fields.
