The Urge to Escape. Slowly. (France) by Pascal Nowak
Bruges International Film Festival
•
1h 14m
Since the famous Meadows report of 1972, The Limits to Growth, environmental awareness has exploded extremely...slowly. From world congress to international conference, large gatherings calling for the great evening of ecology have punctuated the last 50 years without any real change in governance. However, a sense of urgency has taken hold among many citizens. Filastine and Nova are among these activist artists who have long punctuated their songs, clips and concerts with messages in favour of the environment. Until they realized that their incessant travels were in total contradiction with their texts. The change in life that they initiate is then a long journey, a reflection of our contradictions between what we would like to change and what we actually achieve.
