The film ACTIVIST won the Young Creative Award at the Deauville Green Awards 2022.

ACTIVIST - The movie

From Belgium to Slovenia, from civil disobedience to the European Parliament, citizens are committed to environmental justice.

ACTIVIST is a documentary series that follows the journey of 7 young people from the team Seeding for Future. Slovenia, Italy, Poland, Germany, Belgium: during 2 months, they met activists and initiatives committed to climate and social justice in Europe. From these discussions is born a 5-episode documentary series, illustrating the diversity of ideas, strategies and possible commitments, in order to create a fairer and more environmentally friendly world.

From civil disobedience to the European Parliament, these activists are shaping new ways of coexisting. A dose of inspiration to join this movement of commitment that brings people together beyond borders.

Diversity and complementary of actions

How to deal with the eco-social crisis? ACTIVIST shows us the importance of the diversity and the complementarity of strategies in resistance, transformation and the creation of the world of tomorrow.

Joy and care in activism

Eco-terrorists or eco-saviors? By demystifying forms of activism often misportrayed by the media, this film enlightens us on the importance of joy and care in committed collectives.

Inspire and empower

Activism, a utopia? Through creative and accessible actions, ACTIVIST inspires us to use our responsibilities and our diverse skills in the service of the environmental movement. No need for something extraordinary, you can take action from where you are!

A few extracts - our treasures

"We have to realise that there is so much potential if we cooperate."








Tina Trdin
Slovenia
"That's why I also think that our fight needs to be connected, not only in our own country, but also by supporting other countries. I think the most important thing is to be active.”





Jasa Jenull
Slovenia
“I feel like if we act with joy and with love, we can accomplish a lot more, we can understand each other more, and then we can achieve the better world we are looking for.”





Myco
Poland
“I think the most interesting thing happens when you combine the knowledge of scientists and the people who want to take action. I think every form of activism is necessary.”





Robert Gatzka
Poland
"We human beings are the only living beings to produce waste. [In nature,] everything is circular and we have to think about how we can make more circles to make our life more sustainable."




Werner Wiartalla
Germany
"There is a strong connection between the exploitation of bodies, territories, [women's labour], the exploitation of nature and its ability to reproduce, as if this were a free and infinite source. [...] It’s important to deconstruct this social construction because it is not natural or biological, it’s patriarchy."
Sabina
