Scope and content

On 7 September 2002, a group of activists travel from Brussels to Florennes. Their aim is to carry out a citizens' inspection of a GM field test site 1 km outside the town. Yet, from the moment they arrive in the village, nothing goes according to plan... This film documents a different kind of day out in the countryside: the first in the series of 'Genespotting' actions which were to spread across Europe in 2003. Inspired by the cinéma vérité 'experiments' of Jean Rouch and the diary films of Jonas Mekas, What we did at Florennes was shot in silent Super 8, and the soundtrack was composed several months after the event, using the memories of key participants.
