Round-table and screening "Food Sovereignty"
Screening: 9.70 Documentary, by Victoria Solano (50’)
Discussion: Food Sovereignty is a fundamental concept in the defense of the right of peoples to choose which foods to consume, how to produce them and how to trade them. It puts forward an environmentally, socially and economically sustainable system, which demands the administration of lands, water, soils, seeds, fishery and grazing. As opposed to logic of free, corporate market, it focuses on those that produce, distribute and consume foods, making them the center of food politics and systems. The round-table will present an outlook on the Latin American situation regarding these topics from multiple perspectives: development models, health, food safety and the impact on the environment, focusing on seed laws, the use of toxic pesticide and different experiences in family farming.

Speakers: Dra. Silvia Révora (Subsecretary of Environmental Planning and Policy of the SAyDS), Lic. Inés Gómez (Director of Forestry, Subsecretary of Environmental Planning and Policy), Marcelo Viñas and Jorge Casal (director and producer of The Treasure of the Forest.

Round-table and screening "Sustainable changes: the transition towards new forms of energy generation"
Screening: Scorie in libertà (Waste on the Loose), by Gianfranco Pannone (73’)
Discussion: The growing diversification of alternatives to the generation of renewable energies point to the urgent need of change towards a new model of development and consumption. The investigation of non-polluting sources such as blue energy, wind power, geothermal energy, hydropower and solar energy has moved forward, thus showing the great potential of their use. At the same time, renewable energies are developed. They pollute, however their output relies on organic matter, different from the traditional sources responsible for the incessant pollution and for the increase in greenhouse gases. The questions that emerges is: given the current context of a search of a sustainable energy system, and after the well-known limitations to nuclear power and its terrible consequences of pollution and health issues on people, why countries like Argentina insist on investing in the installation of nuclear power plants? Based on the analysis of this contradiction, the round-table will seek to present the challenges posed by the generation of energy and its environmental and social impacts, focusing on actual cases like state company Dioxitek’s attempt to install a plant in Formosa, Argentina.

Environmental art workshop, by Eco Art, with María Azul Bianchi and Laura Genta
The workshop incorporates different artistic disciplines with the aim of questioning and promoting an environmental behavior that implies care, respect and conservation of the environment. Those attending the workshop will witness different artistic procedures and concepts inherent to environmentalism and art, by means of the manipulation and transformation of artistic recyclable materials.
Using the animated short-film Arrosez-les bien! (directed by Christelle Soutif, 2008), which takes a humurous and ironic approach on the big food companys, the attendants will do performative actions and plastic arts creations in order to provide a critical thinking outlook on what was they have seen.
