Last week the second Cannabis Film Festival was inaugurated in Río de Plata with free admission.
Around 20 short films and films are scheduled at the festival, with cannabis being the main theme, both in fiction and documentary form.
This festival does not promote consumption, but aims to provide information both on the ways in which hemp can be used and on “the issues surrounding the topic: health, justice and human rights.”
Two of the most important shorts of the festival were:
‘A History of Prohibition’ by Martín Rieznick and Suppa Altman, in Argentina. The story goes that Eric Sepúlveda is arrested in Córdoba, Argentina, for possession of medical marijuana oil. He is transferred to a maximum security prison and could be sentenced to 15 years in prison.
The other, the documentary called ‘Bring it home’ made in the United States by Linda Booker and Blaire Johnson. The documentary explains the past, present, and future history of hemp through animations and interviews with global industrial hemp business leaders who explore the potential of hemp as a multi-billion dollar crop that could create jobs and produce thousands of dollars. healthy and sustainable products.
Each meeting allows the public to appreciate a wide variety of featured films on the subject. The contents are divided into 3 sections:
‘Cannabis fictions’,’ Cannabis activism’ and ‘Health and cannabis’.
