Yoga for balance with Isha Foundation Romania
Yoga pentru echilibru cu Fundația Isha

The focus of this year's festival on the connection between environment, body and mental health is the ideal context for collaborating with Isha Foundation, a spiritual organization founded by Sadhguru, which this year launched the "Save the Soil" campaign, a global movement designed to respond to the soil crisis.

Throughout the festival, we will organize a series of sessions of Yoga and Angamardana, the yogic fitness system. Each session will focus on a specific theme: physical health, mental health, immunity, well-being. At the intersection of these sessions is the harmony between body and mind, which the participants will practice, starting from the relationship with soil, as it is approached in specific Isha practices.

The Yoga sessions can be accessed by participants who register by filling out the registration form on the festival website, where information about each session will be available.

Strada Gazelei 44, Bucureşti

Reconnecting to the ground - contemplation and pottery workshop
Reconectarea la păm�nt - contemplare și atelier de olărit

Everyday life is a mix of stimuli, emotions and feelings, which often disconnect us from ourselves and from our true nature. We often find ourselves lost in thought, somewhere in the mind, far from the here and now. Earth is a key element for us. We walk on earth, we live on earth, the earth provides us with food, space, shelter.

The connection with the ground and the elements of nature stabilizes the human being on all its coordinates, having the ability to restore health and to anchor ourselves firmly in the whole that we are all part of. Our connection to earth cannot be broken or separated, but sometimes we forget to return to it.

This workshop is about giving ourselves time and a moment of peace in the present in which to get out of our minds and think with our hands. Let's create freely, without constraints, what we feel, using only our intuition, guided by the energy of clay. The workshop is not about creating something specific, about following strict rules or steps. It's about the possibility, it's about the potential, it's about how we want to shape a piece of clay into something that expresses our self.

What does the transition to regenerative agriculture look like?
Cum arată tranziția la agricultura regenerativă?

It is certain now that we need a paradigm shift in the agricultural sector. The European Commission has launched the European Green Pact, and at national level we are working on the national strategic plan and the definition of eco-schemes. But the transition to regenerative agriculture will be made primarily by farmers, and the process must take into account multiple considerations. In this event, we will look at practical, pragmatic and social issues, as well as consumer support and academic and political support. We will discuss how the transition to regenerative agriculture is seen by those who already practice it.

Andra Popescu

Born in the last years of the Socialist Republic of Romania, Andra Popescu studied Fine Arts and Political Science. Ten years ago, she started working as a documentary film producer in Azerbaijan and Georgia. Five years ago she became interested in the phenomenon of Cineclubs, a vast infrastructure of film studios for amateurs, belonging to factories or cultural centers for students, spread across hundreds of cities in the Eastern Bloc countries from 1957 until the fall of the Soviet Union. She gathered 16 mm reels from Romanian cine-amateurs in a collection made available at www.cineama.ro. Her practices as a filmmaker are rooted in visual anthropology, research methodology, archives, and found footage.

synopsis

A group of Italian students from Sardegna occupies an abandoned shed belonging to the Cagliari University with the intention of establishing a self-managed space, a physical and theoretical place for the production and socialization of knowledge disconnected from the interests of market or exploitation. Because the students are protesting against the collaboration of their university with the arm industry and against the presence of military bases on the island�s virgin beaches, their initiative is met with reprehension by the university�s administration. A sketch about students� tactics of resistance.

Steps towards balance: conscious consumption in individual and community life
Pași spre echilibru: consum conștient �n viața individuală și �n comunitate

We bring together the experience of our guests to approach the subject of a balanced and conscious consumption, from several perspectives. We will start from the individual and present some ideas about decisions that we can each make, on several levels, in order to have a life that is balanced and in a good relationship with the environment. We will talk about waste, food, garbage, energy, but also about time and relationships, because they are all connected, and conscious consumption has several ramifications, which are not always visible. Because individual decisions are not always enough for a culture of conscious consumption, we are investigating ways to work better in the community, to act as environmentally friendly as possible. Resources and practical solutions will be presented on how we can improve our relationship with the environment, step by step, and we will end our gathering with a quick and practical compost planting workshop, so that each participant will go home with a future plant whose seeds we will have planted together.

On the Origin of Species - How We Tell Our Histories

synopsis

�Look at the flame.... We didn�t even start properly and it�s already flickering� a female voice whispers over a bright red screen. This is how Pablo Alvarez Mesa�s film, �Bicentenary,� begins, after a prologue composed of archival images of the 1985 attack on the Supreme Court of Colombia, a particularly bloody chapter in the fight between far-left guerillas and the government, which resulted, among other things, in the burning of the documents which constituted the country�s judicial history. We soon realize that the woman�s voice invokes the spirit of Sim�n Bol�var, the hero of Latin American independence, in a s�ance, but her phrase can also be understood as metaphor concerning the aspirations towards freedom and peace of the people from the entire continent, which have always been betrayed, ever since the founding moment represented by the liberation from the Spanish rule. The bicentenary of independence offers Alvarez the occasion to observe the permanent dialogue between Colombia�s past and present, as both temporal threads intertwine under the sign of nationalism and the cult of war. The outcome is a tragic discrepancy between legend and social reality, which results from the accumulation of static observational shots capturing glimpses of the celebrations held on this occasion in all parts of the country. Whether they constitute the movie�s soundtrack, parade as light projections on buildings, or are engraved in stone as slogans and memorial plaques, the official statements make up a glorious narrative which is contradicted by images of hardship-ridden communities which lead a precarious existence and watch the simulated fights organized for the bicentennial celebrations with a glimmer of real fear in their eyes.

The Law of Nature: Prey and Predator

synopsis

Italian philosopher Lanza del Vasto saw justice as the �ultimate expression of legitimate violence, a deviation from rationality which repays evil for evil and wants to call the evil we repay goodness.� Without being so radical, Chris Wright and Stefan Kolbe�s film nevertheless questions the limits of the prison systems and, moreover, those of the idea of punishment, as well as that of redemption. Their endeavour is centered on Stefan S., who finishes his 15-year reclusion sentence for killing one of his female co-workers. The film unexpectedly benefits from the protagonist�s refusal to appear in the frame, which forces the authors to find various methods to portray him, for instance a puppet with a petrified, childishly round, slightly sinister face which reflects both the prisoner�s opacity, as well as the limits of our methods in decoding a gesture such as the one he committed. From a project which initially attempts to examine a criminal�s psyche and to follow his gradual acclimatization to the rules and values of the world waiting for him outside the prison walls, the film turns into an acknowledgement of the failure of any explicative endeavour, first of all due to the barriers that we put up against the excessive closeness to a man who seems to be fully contained by the barbaric act he committed. Through this deflected path, the film manages to make Stefan S. exist not only hors-cadre, but also, more significantly, hors-crime. (Liri Alienor Chapelan)

Collapse Yoga
Collapse Yoga

Collapse Yoga mixes Yoga with possible "negative" states such as sadness, illness, anxiety, hopelessness, worry, renouncement, exhaustion, grief, boredom, decrepitude, failure and their traces in the body. It confronts Yoga's aims for coordination, balance, strength, flexibility with the body's deep desires for asymmetry, incoordination, weakness, relaxation, unbalance, abandon, collapse, freedom. It affects the normativity of the human form. Collapse Yoga is sometimes practiced next to intimidating buildings, monuments, in charged public spaces associated with cultural stiffness, harmful ethics or bad politics. It can tune our bodies with natural, cultural and personal collapsing environments, possibly affecting some of them. There is a correspondence and influence between the body's politics and society's problems.

When the Rug Is Pulled from under Our Feet

synopsis

�The Wild Frontier� is an impressive foray into the �jungle of Calais,� the way the migrant camp near the English Channel was popularly called. Militant filmmakers Nicolas Klotz and Elisabeth Perceval integrate themselves among the inhabitants of the �jungle� barracks aided by a portable camera, building, frame by frame, a relationship of camaraderie with some of those who endure all kinds of deprivations in the hope of living a better life in the West. The movie proves its political acuity not just thanks to this solidary gaze which it establishes at every step � a manner of talking from within the community of migrants instead of about them, that is to say always with them � but also due to the form that it takes. For if there is a �practical� lesson to this precarious mechanism of the movie, it is built in the name of an urgency to film, of a desire to accompany through the recording gesture regardless of technological limitations or � like in these splendid shots of the scorched beach � even using them to invent new thresholds of sensitivity. A burning movie which dares to believe again, with fervour, in the true political force of friendship. (Victor Morozov)

The Fruits of Labour

synopsis

�Returning to Reims� steps on the hot front opened by the French proletarian archives of the last century, starting with the moment when, thanks to technical progress, they have become filmable, and ending at the edge of the present. The movie is a lax adaptation of philosopher Didier Eribon�s penetrating sociological essay, a bestseller in several European countries, where he examines his process of becoming a homosexual within the working-class family environment. Corroborating this personal testimony with the audiovisual traces of the popular past, Jean-Gabriel P�riot (�A German Youth�) embraces, through an ambitious filmmaker-archaeologist�s gesture, the proletarian resistance during World War II and the May 68 revolts, the new social housing neighbourhoods, and the recent Yellow Vests movement. A counter-history thus takes shape, animated by renowned actress Ad�le Haenel�s voice, where the marginalized and the dispossessed of the official narrative of triumphant capitalism take a curtain call, in the name of a just ideal they knew how to keep alive through struggle and perseverance.

This Ukraine Will never Stop

synopsis

A cheerful crowd of children go caroling. Armed with Christmas lights and decorations, the children bravely make their way through ruins, rubble, and bombed streets as they enter houses on the verge of collapse to sing carols and receive some change or candy in return. A small number of fearful locals agree to open the otherwise firmly locked doors to them. This is Eastern Ukraine and they are the children of war. In an apocalyptic landscape which decomposes day by day, Nastya, Yarik, and their friends play on with fierce determination. Their clear voices and nostalgic songs resound among improvised cemeteries, abandoned places, or even on the now-empty battlefield. The children won�t accept defeat. This is the new resistance movement � a resistance of innocence, imagination, and children�s games. (Monica Stan)

On the Origin of Species - How We Tell Our Histories

synopsis

The film is an unconventional composition made of material gathered over many years, on several continents. The two directors, Nicolas Klotz and Elisabeth Perceval, start from a script based on a novel by William Faulkner, about the escape of a slave, on which they develop semi-improvised scenes in Brazzaville, Barcelona, and Paris, where the �fugitives� of today, the refugees, try to build a life for themselves. It is a movie about those who run away from the history which condemned them to slavery and from a present which condemns them to poverty and a perpetual chase for �something slightly better� one can only obtain in a Western country, after having risked their life. It is at the same time an almost experimental endeavour built around dance as a means for liberation and forgetting yourself, and the expression of a sincere curiosity towards people and the infinite possibilities of the image. Although one of the conclusions is well-known � there is no victory, because what matters is the struggle, the confrontation -, the message is one of mobilization: �When some say �crisis,� we say �revolution.�� (Sorana Stănescu)
