International Environmental Film Festival will be held 4-11 February in Paris. The Festival was created in 1982. Back then, it was organized by the Ministry for the Environment and was called RIENA (International Nature and Environment Meeting).

The Festival's purpose is to bring together films, audiovisual media and the environment. Its mission is to inform and raise public awareness of eco-citizenship in our eco-region through screenings, meetings, events and debates.

The selection of the films has been narrowed down over the last few years, with a broader focus on international productions and on new releases, documentaries, fiction and short films.

The program now covers the following themes: nature conservation, the fight against hazards and pollution, reasoned management of resources, air quality, the greenhouse effect, transport, energy, quality in agriculture, health and the environment, the urban environment, quality of housing, employment, solidarity and fighting poverty, participatory democracy, governance, tradition and modernity, north-south, east-west relations, migratory movement and integration, evolution of the Earth, etc.

This documentary represents the story of an old couple living in a small valley of palm trees. They don't have any children so they treat the palms as their own children.
