Agenda

  • 18:00 - 20:00

    Screening

    • Documentary “Do You Know How to Plant Brussels Sprouts?”: this documentary follows the path of a group of Molenbeekers who wonder about the social bond created by initiatives such as: baking bread together or growing an urban vegetable garden. And what if these activities were also a way to resist?
    • Documentary “C’est Encore Bon”: this documentary shows the amount of waste (especially from supermarkets) that is thrown away despite being still good! Opening the lid of a garbage can may seem like a disgusting act, but what if it was a political act? What if, inside that trash can, was the treasure that our capitalist society is so adept at hiding? Opening this straitjacket is called gleaning.
      Gleaning to live, gleaning to feed ourselves, gleaning to shout out loud all that we throw away without being aware of it. Each one of us has a good reason to glean…
    • Debate
    • Drinks and soup by Les Uns et Les Autres
  • 18:00 - 20:00

    Screening

    • “Flour, Salt, Water and Know-How”: this documentary presents the artisans who allow Sébastien, the baker of “La Mie qui Roule”, to have a quality raw material for his sourdough bread: Pierre, the cereal farmer, Joseph, the miller and Pascal the salt worker. Through this film, the director wishes to provoke a reflection on our society of food abundance (even waste), where bread has simultaneously lost its nutritional richness, its symbolic importance and the attention of consumers. In order not to remain on this alarming report, this documentary talks about tasty alternatives, old wheat, sourdough, direct sale, short circuit, know-how, passion and especially about the respect of producers, consumers and ecosystems.
    • Debate
