We’re inviting creators to submit short films and video works that explore the climate crisis, celebrate the beauty of nature, reflect today’s world, aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

There are no limits on style or genre — video art, experimental, music videos, video poetry, re-edited archives, docu and more are welcome. Just bring a strong visual story, as some screenings will run without sound.
