BIO FILM FESTIVAL (2025)

Agricultural and environmental biodiversity is an invaluable treasure that we are entrusted with safeguarding for future generations. It plays a pivotal role not only in the preservation of ecosystems but also in shaping our culture, economy, and gastronomy. The Bio Film Festival, now entering its third edition in 2025, is dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of biodiversity and encouraging action towards its protection.

This year’s edition will focus on ecological regeneration as its central theme. Through a collection of films that explore biodiversity’s many dimensions—be it the delicate balance of nature, the impact of climate change, or innovative solutions for sustainable agriculture—the festival will foster important conversations and inspire collective responsibility. The event will continue to be a tribute to nature and a celebration of the harvest, emphasizing the vital connection between the environment and human well-being.

Held in the breathtaking province of Belluno, nestled amidst the Dolomites (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), the festival will take place in the village of Sospirolo. Here, a unique outdoor theater will set the stage for an unforgettable cinematic experience, surrounded by lush landscapes that are emblematic of the themes of the festival.

The Bio Film Festival 2025 will feature a range of film genres, including documentaries, short fiction films, and animations, each offering diverse perspectives on biodiversity and ecological sustainability. The films will serve as both a reflection on the current state of our planet and a call to action for the preservation of its natural wealth. At the closing ceremony, awards will be given for the Best Documentary, Best Short Film, and Best Animated Film, celebrating the creativity and impact of filmmakers addressing environmental challenges.

The festival's logo, depicting a child restoring life to a gray world devoid of biodiversity, symbolizes hope, regeneration, and the possibility of a renewed future. The Bio Film Festival 2025 stands as a powerful platform for promoting education, creative engagement, and action to preserve our planet’s diverse ecosystems and agricultural heritage.
