TIME OF FORESTS
(Le temps des forêts, François-Xavier Drouet, France, 2018, 103 min, French, with Hungarian subtitles)
As the symbol of authentic, preserved, wild nature, forests are undergoing an unprecedented phase of industrialization. Heavy mechanization, monoculture, fertilizers and pesticides, loss of traditional know-how, forest management—all follow the intensive agricultural model at an accelerated rhythm. The Time of Forests is a journey to the heart of industrial forestry and its alternatives. A living forest or a green desert, the choices of today will define tomorrow's landscape.
I AM GRETA
(Nathan Grossman, Sweden, 2020, 98 min, Swedish, English, with English and Hungarian subtitles)
The world-famous climate activist, Greta Thunberg, began a one-person school strike that led to her appearing before the multinational UN climate summit and posing on the cover of Time magazine as Person of the Year, 2019. But what is this shy teenager, the most recent icon of the environmental movement, like when she's not in the spotlight? Nathan Grossman's documentary includes unseen footage of a timid girl, before she became famous for speaking courageously and directly to politicians. We see, with close and honest moments, a girl who finds it hard to fully integrate with her own peers.
