Two documentaries on ecology will be screened on Friday, June 5, on the World Environment Day. Virunga, nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature this year, talks about the multitude of forces trying to take over the natural wonders of Congo. The film can be seen from 6pm, at Boema Club, and will be followed by a debate by BankWatch Romania, under the European Year of Development.

The guests of the debate are: Enrico Pironio, expert on biodiversity, European Commission; Ștefan Roman, expert on Assistance for Development; and, through a video call, Emmanuel de Merode, protagonist of the film and administrator of the National Park Virunga.

From 9.45pm, at the Film Warehouse, on the same day, a special screening dedicated to the biking community in Cluj is programmed, with the film Bikes Vs. Cars, in which activists fight for better and cleaner cities.
