FCM and FICMEC organize two days of environmental projections

The Cesar Manrique Foundation (FCM) and the Canary Islands International Environmental Film Festival (FICMEC) organize two days of screenings related to the environment and nature, as well as the relationship between humans and the region in which they live and in which they develop their own development strategies. . All performances are free and will take place on Tuesday 25 October and Wednesday 26 October at Sala José Saramago, located in La Plazuela, Arrecife.

In total, four feature films and a selection of seven short films will be shown, some of which have already been shown on the islands of Tenerife, La Palma and Fuerteventura for which the festival has also been scheduled. As in previous versions, drop sessions will be organized into morning and evening sessions. The first will be reserved exclusively for high school and high school students belonging to agreed positions through the FCM Pedagogical Department. While, in the afternoon, forecasts will be open to the general public.

FICMEC, directed by Tenerife documentary filmmaker and filmmaker David Bout, is presented as a space for reflection on the acceleration of events and processes related to nature’s degradation. This approach is revealed through audiovisual language and takes place from a place like the Canary Islands, a fragile and threatened region, with valuable landscapes and natural resources, making it a suitable and unique space when considering coherent environmental actions. , wide and deep. .

FICMEC takes over as the Canary Festival of Environmental and Nature Films, which has been taking place since the early 1980s in Puerto de la Cruz and which has been pioneering in Spain in terms of its theme: the country’s first film competition focused on environmental issues. Now, FICMEC, in a more complex and problematic contemporary perspective, solidifies this reflexive field in the face of what has become one of the greatest disturbing and challenging issues of our time. Since 2014, FCM and FICMEC have jointly developed this activity in Lanzarote.
