"Our Seeds" at Festival in Giessen, Germany

"Our Seeds" was shown at the film festival "Globale Mittelhessen" held in Giessen from 18th-27th November. Organiser, Monika Scarf reports:

The reactions are all positive of course. In your film we especially liked the community between the people and their respect for nature. It leaves a feeling of harmony. And the awareness that we can change something, we just have to get started.

We combined "Our Seeds" with a film about alternative ways of living together in communities and small villages ("Ein neues Wir"), so I think the people left quite assured and with a confident feeling this evening.

Many people here have also seen other films dealing with the theme of seed-keeping and are already sensitized to this subject, for example with films like "Good Food, Bad Food", "Voices of Transition" and others. 

There are more and more people here in Gießen, where I live, and the surroundings having their own garden or a shared garden and gathering their own vegetables.
