As the world passes through challenging times, we are ever more so reminded of our interconnectedness and responsibility for each others’ well-being. Today, the need to change is more urgent than ever, and the inspiration to evolve is most abundant!
Sustainable Living Film Festival will meet with its audience at Pera Museum in Istanbul on 2020 November 19-22*, to hear our planet’s call for change during this extraordinary period we are going through.
The SLFF2020 selection shows that achieving a sustainable global civilization is only possible when the environment and conditions of all living beings on the planet are sustainable; it reminds us that the season, the air, the water, the soil, the wild, the farmer, the seed, the forest, the insect, the tomato and the neighbor must be good for us to be good. If everyone is good, we are fine too…
The twenty feature length and short documentary films which will be screened at Pera Museum covers a very wide range of subjects and approaches such as sustainable farming and food systems, seed, regenerative ranching, right to water, climate change and migration, gold mining and wastes, megafires, biodiversity, nature preservation and wildlife, social entrepreneurship and sustainable economy.
The opening of the festival is on November 19, with the film “Nations United: Urgent Solutions for Urgent Times”, which was made by the UN to celebrate its 75th anniversary and the fifth anniversary of Sustainable Development Goals.
