“Voices of Transition” and I got invited to the “Festival Internacional de Cine de Derechos Humanos”: Argentinian premiere time!
What to do with this incredible privilege of being invited to fly all the way (up) to the Southern hemisphere? We’ll try to turn what could have been a sheer festival participation into a tour with free screenings in La Pampa, Córdoba (with the anti-Monsanto movement), Santiago del Estero, Salta, Santiago de Chile, … !*

Finally, I’ll be able to show the film to my Argentinian friends!, I told myself, remembering that they had taken such an important role in inspiring “Voices of transition”, roughly 10 years ago, in 2005…
This was for instance when a little journalism study group from the “Universidad de las Madres de Plaza de Mayo” by coincidence witnessed the bloody eviction of an indigenous tribe in the Jujuy area, covering it with rudimentary film equipment. The images of the beaten, broken existences still haunt my thoughts.
Another moment of crucial importance, on the positive side was to learn about “biointensive farming” in Patagonia, to learn how to survive in an economically run-down Buenos Aires by creating micro-businesses, as observed in the MTD’s, or in the very active anarquist center “Centro Cultural La Sala”.
On that tour we’d like to learn how the shaken, but amazingly brave Argentinian people is keeping on with the struggle against corporate take-overs and the soy imperium swallowing up their fertile land, and learn how the transition movement and the self-sufficiency praxis of the “movimiento de trabajadores desocupados” (MTD) could mutually inspire each other.
A warm appeal: Donations would be most welcome, since this tour doesn’t benefit from any financial support whatsoever (apart from the flight back and forth), and the Argentinians don’t have the dime, but a very high cost of living…
Gracias, y saludos muy alegres!
Con mucha motivación:
Nils
