Film 'Eat More Trees' + introduction (4AD Music Cafes Duurzame Donderdagen)

This summer, the Music Café of 4AD is organizing the free Duurzame Donderdagen! For 38 years, 4AD has held sustainability in high regard. This summer, for four Thursdays, we are a meeting place where you can gain inspiration and follow workshops, a lecture, and a film together with like-minded people. 8:00 PM: Introduction by Diderik Clarebout, founder of food forest de Woudezel 8:30 PM: Film Samenvatting: De Spaanse farmer Alfonso and his wife Yanniek stubbornly try to stop the desertification of their precious land. Their place of residence La Junquera is - like many other regions - plagued by endless drought. With innovative agricultural techniques and a love for their profession, they look for ways to restore their soil, but can they actually turn the tide? Arne Focketyn co-directed more than a hundred episodes of the VRT magazine ‘Fans of Flanders’ and was cameraman/editor of the internationally acclaimed documentary ‘Duty of Care’. In ‘Eat More Trees’, he focuses his lens on the growing problem of overproduction and overconsumption in agriculture and the challenges of climate change. The voice-over was recorded by Maaike Cafmeyer. (duration: 77 min)
