In this session, our guest speaker Floriana Timmer, a bachelor student at Hogeschool van Hall Larenstein, will focus on the impact of storytelling on people, especially with film. How can film inspire us to take action, what works well, and what doesn’t?
She will show us two pieces of film, one of which is a shortened version of a documentary: Before You Eat (20 minutes). This was made by SBMI (the Indonesian migrant workers’ union) and supported by Greenpeace. It is about IUU fishing and modern slavery associated with it. On the same subject, she will also show a shortened version of a film, Buoyancy (25 minutes), which is inspired by true stories.
