Patagonia Aysen Film Festival, dams opinions and repression.
These are the first days after the winter time change, the sunset is dark and the sunrise is bright. From home I can see the Mackay, the city of Coyhaique and the surrounding hills. The snow is moving forward, the inauguration day was snowing near the city for a long time.
An anxious feeling was enveloping the city, the next days are fundamental, a commission was voting the Mega Dams Project of HidroAysen. I have been talking with local and foreign people, almost all of them are against the dams.
The slogan of the Third Film Festival of Patagonia Aysen 2011, “nature and social movements” is precise. Conversation, debate, the exploration of new realities, the foment of a healthy and conscious environment, a respectful attitude with the Earth and society, were the target of this festival.
I felt that the people were afraid, but, why? of what?
Do you like green initiatives? Do you like music and to meet new people?!
