Insostenible, Rere La Brossa
Spain, 51 min. 2023 Director: Christophe Sion
Thousands of lorries and ships loaded with waste circulate every day on European motorways and in European ports: millions of tonnes of waste of which only a fraction is inspected. The various regulations of EU states do not prevent waste traffic where it is cheapest to manage, a traffic which often incorporates illegal practices and can have, as Italy demonstrates, tragicconsequences for citizens' health.

Urak Lawoi, hermanos del mar
Spain, 70 min. 2023
Dir: Telmo Iragorri & Manuel Coronado
The Sea Brotherhood (Urak Lawoi in their native language) is a nomad tribe that for hundreds of years, has been looking for a place to settle. A 100 years ago, the Thai government conceded the island of Koh Lipe and the Adang archipelago, to its aboriginal inhabitants. Since then, the Sea Brotherhood has overcome natural and human disasters, thanks to their profound knowledge about fishing and the sea. They survived the 2004 tsunami, blocked by neighbouring Sumatra, the same as they did against piracy in the Pacific, colonialism and two World Wars. Their main threat, however, is the touristic invasion of the island.

ZioRiz
Italy, 64 min. 2022
Dir: Raffaela Mariniello
ZioRiz takes its name from the Canadian canoe on wich, in the film, a single person slowly descends the waters of the Volturno river, from its natural source in Rocchetta al Volturno to its mouth in the Tyrrhenian Sea near the town of Castel Volturno.
The narrative punctuated by theriver’s meandering waters, unfolds in three chapters that portray the gradual transformation of the landscape and its environmental histories: Fertile Land, Working Land, Land of fires. Southern Italy’s longest river yhus becomes a medium for narrating a contradictory territory, where enchantement, industriousness and anthropogenic devastation alternate. The water flowing through the land is like a palimpsest that rewrites the shape of the soil, carrying within itself an archive of traces of experience
