Note: Although no entrance fee is required, it is recommended to book in advance. Choose the film session you are interested in on our Filmfreeway platform (tickets are organised per film name and follow the chronological order of our festival). There are no assigned seats.  Please come half an hour before the session. We will give away the tickets that haven’t been collected 15 minutes before the session starts.




Filmmaker Asgeir Helgestad documents the state of nature at his home country Norway, where he has photographed all his life. From the lives of bees at his farm, to wild reindeer on the high mountains, and puffins at the ocean’s edge, he shows the beauty of threatened nature and tracks down human actions responsible for its decline. This is a personal story on our connection with the non-human world, the relations between the small and the big, and a reminder of nature’s strength and vulnerability.




wheelchair access / RollstuhlbefahrbarThe cinema is accessible via a ramp.
need for assistance for toilets / hilfestellungThere are also toilets accessible with a wheelchair. However assistance might be required since there are a few (heavy) doors to open to arrive to it.
hoeranlage PiktogrammThe cinema room is equipped with an inductive sound system. We use two microphones for the discussion afterwards (one for the moderator and/ or speaker, one for the public).
Information about languages is provided above. We tend to provide live interpretation towards English or German when needed (it might be whispered). However live interpretation is harder to put into place when some speakers are taking part online.

No entrance fee is required. We invite our public to support the festival through a donation at the end of the sessions. You decide how much you want to give.
