Grounded – Soil Film Festival

Celebrate Soil Awareness!

As part of the first Global Soil Week, the film festival Grounded will take place at Kino Arsenal in Berlin on the 18th and the 21st November.

On two days, a selection of international films on the topic of soil and soil protection will be shown. Ten directors present the diversity and complexity of soils and their significance for human culture. Problems of industrial agricultural policy and global soil management are presented as key factors of a sustainable future. A special highlight is the premiere of Deborah Garcia Koons´ Symphony of Soil.

The films are in English or with English Subtitles.
