Paola Catapano and Mike Struik presented the Nanuq documentary (guest film) at the Andaras Traveling Film Festival. Paola was also part of the Festival Jury, environmental section.

A photo exhibition devoted to Polarquest was also launched, giving locals an opportunity to reflect and learn more about the now evident consequences of climate change and environmental pollution caused by man. The exhibition will stay for one year on the main road of the village of Flumini.
