The Nomad Garden, Mohamed Salem Mohamed Ali. Western Sahara, 2022. 8’.
The Nomad Garden is an ode to the impossible. A young Sahrawi refugee shows how he has managed to grow vegetables in one of the most inhospitable places in the world in the face of water shortages, extreme temperatures and barren land.
Grass, Sand and Global Environmental Apparatuses, Cao Minghao and Chen Jianjun. China, 2022. 19’. Original soundtrack with Spanish subtitles
Recovery from desertification and degradation of grasslands is an ecological reality in the source-region of the river system. Herders use local wisdom about nature, combining traditional and modern technological methods, to restore the grasslands on which animals, plants and they themselves depend.
Barruntaremos, by Asunción Molinos. Spain, 2021. 9’ 38’’.
Barruntaremos [Forecasting] is a video that explores other ways of inhabiting the world and feeling the landscape through the voice and experiences of Pedro Sanz Moreno, a shepherd from the region of Segovia (Spain) with intimate knowledge of the “cabañuelas”, a traditional form of weather forecasting passed down from generation to generation and based on the ability to read the landscape and the surrounding natural elements. The film presents the elements that Pedro takes as a reference and which serve as milestones in his weather forecasts for the coming years.
Curated by Cooking Sections.
