The Association EPEKA, Soc. Ent., organises a screening of films in Maribor as part of the EU Youth Cinema: Green Deal project.
EU Youth Cinema: Green Deal is an innovative project dedicated to a sustainable Europe, presenting the European Union’s green objectives in a film context. The project contributes to the appreciation and understanding of the EU Green Deal among young viewers and provides a platform for a multicultural approach to the Green Agenda. The project engages young audiences in particular, addressing environmental challenges and promoting green activities and lifestyles.
The project will offer young people and teachers a programme of film and educational activities over a period of 24 months. The film screenings and streaming content will be accompanied by didactic material and thematically linked discussions, workshops and lectures.
The programme is based on a carefully selected film collection of 25 European films, which will be presented both in cinemas and via an online streaming platform between May 2022 and May 2024.
The project is implemented in Slovenia, Austria, Croatia, North Macedonia and Romania. All films will be subtitled in local languages and are suitable for young people aged 10 and over.
Information about the films:
1. WOOD – GAME-CHANGER UNDERCOVER | AUSTRIA, GERMANY, ROMANIA (2020) | DIRECTED by MONICA LAZUREAN-GORGAN, MICHAELA KIRST, EBBA SINZINGER: | DOCUMENTARY | 96 MINUTES | RECOMMENDED AGE: OVER 14 YEARS, with Slovenian subtitles |
WOOD is an investigation into the illegal timber trade, with a particular focus on Peru and Romania. The latter turns out to be the real El Dorado for this corrupt business, which the film follows all the way to China, Russia and the USA. After shady companies like the Austrian Schweighofer Group have been in their sights for years, EIA (Environmental Investigation Agency) activists equip themselves with hidden cameras and turn up as CIA agents to prove their shady practices!
Registration is required to visit the cinemas and access the online platform.
