"Feeding Hope": Screening and Open Discussion on Food Insecurity at the Athens International Film Festival | Free Entry

FEEDING HOPE

Gathering for a family meal. Planting seeds for a sustainable life. Bonding over the stove with loved ones. These experiences, often taken for granted, are mere dreams for millions of people around the world facing severe food insecurity.

These millions are deprived of this basic human right due to conflicts, recurring and increasingly extreme natural disasters, and economic crises.

As part of the European Commission's "Feeding Hope" campaign addressing global food insecurity, which remains alarmingly high, the European Union is intensifying efforts to support vulnerable communities.

The 30th Athens International Film Festival is joining the campaign with a screening of the short documentary Winning Battles by Olivier Jobard, Julien Pebrel, and Olivier Laban-Mattei on Wednesday, October 9 at 8:00 PM at the Auditorium Theo Angelopoulos (French Institute of Greece, 31 Sina Street).

The screening will be followed by an open discussion featuring:

- Roë Zivra, Internal Communication Coordinator at the Directorate-General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (DG ECHO) of the European Commission,

- Alexandros Theodoridis, Founding Member of the NGO Boroume, dedicated to reducing food waste and increasing food support across Greece,

- and chef Gogo Delogianni.

The discussion will be moderated by Maria Nathanael, Head of Communications for the Athens International Film Festival.

Συντονίζει η Μαρία Ναθαναήλ, Υπεύθυνη Επικοινωνίας στο ΔΦΚ της Αθήνας Νύχτες Πρεμιέρας.
