Between February and May 2024, a screening of one film for each theme of the Transition Days Festival will be held throughout Luxembourg. Each theme will be represented by a short documentary presenting solutions around Food sovereignty, Respect of Living Systems, Economic transition, Democratic transition, Territories in transition, Energy Transition and Societal transition.
Each film will be followed by a workshop for reflection and debate with the attendees, as well as a graphic recording of the session. We will discuss a variety of questions related to the film, mainly how we can act and bring about change at our level in Luxembourg.
Summer 2023. 2 young filmmakers travelled through Europe visiting seed producers at their workplaces and experiencing first-hand how important it is to preserve this diversity in Europe. The short documentary gives a voice to these small-scale seed producers and seed savers from across Europe, with beautiful footage shot in Ireland, Luxembourg, France, Italy, Austria and the Czech Republic.
For diversity on our plates and in nature, we also need diversity in seeds. However, when we look at the selection available in supermarkets, including in the vegetable aisle, it quickly becomes clear that everything looks the same, almost all the time and all year round. Why is that? Because large corporations have power over the market. Now, however, EU seed legislation is being reformed – a chance to save seed diversity.
