The NGO Rakonto is excited to announce the first edition of EC(H)O FILM FESTIVAL, aiming to promote the exhibition of short and feature films exploring how cinema and ecology can relate at every stage of the process of making and sharing movies.
Rooted in communal spaces of Laroin (South-West France), EC(H)O FILM FESTIVAL explores what it means to think about cinema ecologically and embracing a utopian thinking approach in a broad sense, moving beyond films that are simply about the ecological crisis to rethink the whole ecosystem surrounding cinema and positive alternatives: how we make, watch and share films, but also what we create around them. Cinema becomes a way to gather, create collectively, build relationships and care for each other and the places we inhabit.
