It’s an interesting contradiction to note that cinema spaces can easily feel like an almost polar opposite to the natural world, but film as an artform is so adept at capturing the beauty and the nuance of our environment.
In 2024, some of our favourite films included titles like Here, The Outrun, Janet Planet and About Dry Grasses, all of which used the grandeur and the detail of every mossy hillock and roaring wave to help give a voice to the inner lives of their characters.
Moving away from fiction, the documentary form is an especially rich tool - which instead of using nature to move along a narrative - can give a much-needed voice to the landscape itself.
With this in mind, we want to start 2025 with a short mini-season of three new documentaries which all use the form in very different ways to explore the impact of human activity on the natural world.
