BIO FILM FESTIVAL (2026)
Agricultural and environmental biodiversity is an invaluable heritage, entrusted to us and essential for the future of our planet. It is deeply connected to the health of ecosystems, but also to our cultures, economies, and ways of living. Now in its fourth edition, the Bio Film Festival 2026 continues its commitment to raising awareness about biodiversity and fostering a shared responsibility for its protection.
Building on the path traced in previous years, the festival further explores ecological regeneration as both a necessity and a possibility. Through a curated selection of films that address the fragile balance of natural systems, the consequences of climate change, and regenerative practices in agriculture and land stewardship, the Bio Film Festival invites audiences to reflect, connect, and imagine alternative futures. Cinema becomes a tool for observation, dialogue, and transformation.
Set in the evocative province of Belluno, surrounded by the Dolomites—recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site—the festival takes place in the village of Sospirolo. Here, an open-air cinema immersed in nature offers a powerful and immersive viewing experience, where landscape and storytelling resonate with one another.
The Bio Film Festival 2026 presents documentaries, short fiction films, and animated works from around the world, each offering a unique perspective on biodiversity and environmental sustainability. Together, these films form a collective narrative that speaks to urgency, resilience, and hope. Awards will be presented during the closing ceremony for Best Documentary, Best Short Film, and Best Animated Short, honoring filmmakers whose work engages with environmental and social challenges.
The festival’s logo—depicting a child bringing life back to a grey, depleted world—remains a strong symbol of regeneration, care, and future possibility. The Bio Film Festival 2026 reaffirms itself as a space for encounter, education, and creative action, dedicated to nurturing a deeper relationship between humans and the living world.
