Musica Vita – Music of Life, a contemplative film about Auroville, is immersing us in a world of nature, sound and music. In a completely different genre, Disturbing the Peace and Forbidden People are two films echoing very current events. In the first one, Palestinians and Israelis get together to build fragments of peace at their own scale, in the second, a Quebec filmmaker observes the Catalan people unite in their quest for autonomy.

Keep your energy for Sunday as the screenings start as early as 9:30 am!
