2021 has seen the French news agenda sandwiched between COVID lockdowns and President Macron’s re-election. A Reuters’ report from late January to early February 2022 shows most news brands have decreased static news consumption and trust.

CINEMA
Hanoi-Screening: The Recycling Lie
Sep 29, 7 pm,
Goethe Institut, 56-58-60 Nguyen Thai Hoc Street, Ba Dinh District
From Goethe Institut:
Under the slogan #ITSTIMETOACT- A NATURE FILM FESTIVAL! the first eco film festival will be held from September 23 to October 07, 2022. It is part of the international activities of Climate Week 2022. Tackling the climate crisis is the major challenge of the 21st century. The festival is initiated by the Spanish Embassy of Hanoi in collaboration with European and Latin American Embassies. NGO “WILDACT” helps to publicize and attract audiences. The hybrid festival can be attended online and at the Goethe-Institut and Casa Italia.
“The Recycling lie” will be the German contribution to the Nature Film Festival. The film “The Recycling lie” by Tom Costello and Benedikt Wermter sheds light on an industry that profits from the plastic pollution crisis instead of solving it. Packaging is increasingly being labeled “100% recyclable” to give us a clear conscience. But what happens to our plastic waste after we throw it away? The answer to this question is appalling since only 9% of plastic packaging is recycled1. This raises concerns that recycling is merely greenwashing.
