Once upon a time, there was a pedunculate oak (Quercus robur), born in 1810, 210 years old and a pillar in its kingdom. This spectacular adventure features an extraordinary cast: squirrels, barnacles, jays, ants, field mice... This vibrant, whirring, marvelous little world seals its destiny around the majestic tree that welcomes them, feeds them and protects them from its roots to its crown. A poetic ode to life, in which nature alone expresses itself.
According to scientific evidence, global climate change is irreversible; at best, its effects can still be mitigated. Nevertheless, political decision-makers in the Global North downplay it and, in some cases, even deny it, while the Global South bears a disproportionate burden of the consequences of the climate catastrophe—largely through no fault of its own.
We aim to explore these related topics through documentaries and feature films on the last Wednesday of every month at 7:00 p.m., followed by a discussion with the audience and guests.
