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.
