Differing in realities and locations, the three films explore a model of growth based on unlimited accumulation and exploitation, revealing the harsh consequences for the environment and society in a system that transforms natural elements above and below ground into goods. In <em>Hungry<\/em> future collapse is imminent owing to the current agroindustrial system and the power of the multinationals; in <em>Silver<\/em> colonialism still pervades the mining industry which must furnish rare metals for global advanced technologies, in <em>Yanuni<\/em> indigenous resistance is pitted against the destruction of the Amazon and the battle for a different idea of coexistence with the planet.<\/p>\n<p>The dialogue takes up the philosophy of Kohei Saito, one of today\u2019s prominent influencers in the debate over ecological crisis and the relationship between capitalism and the environment. Basing his argument on the final works of Karl Marx and a radical critique of unlimited growth, Saito invites reflection on a post-mining society, ecosocialism based on climate justice, reduction of social inequality, and a new relationship between humans and nature.<\/p>\n<p>Moderator <strong>Paolo Verri<\/strong>, director of the Fondazione Arnoldo e Alberto Mondadori<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SATURDAY, 6 JUNE CINEMA MASSIMO SALA2 17:45 The global food crisis envisioned in Hungry, the working conditions in the silver mines of Cerro Rico in Silver, the destruction of the Amazon in Yanuni\u00a0 form a triptych of resource predation today: depletion of natural resources, destruction of the environment, social inequality, and violence inflicted on humans&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":6035,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[33],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.festivalcinemambiente.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6006"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.festivalcinemambiente.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.festivalcinemambiente.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.festivalcinemambiente.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.festivalcinemambiente.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6006"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.festivalcinemambiente.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6006\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6169,"href":"https:\/\/www.festivalcinemambiente.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6006\/revisions\/6169"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.festivalcinemambiente.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6035"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.festivalcinemambiente.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6006"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.festivalcinemambiente.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6006"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.festivalcinemambiente.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6006"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
