Freeland Film Festival 2025: Celebrating our Planet

Picture this: our world reset, with temperatures cooling, species recovering, natural habitats expanding, and communities thriving and safe from out-breaks.

Let’s make it happen!

We’re back --to celebrate Mother Earth –and we need your help. Due to so many daunting challenges facing our planet and people today, we all need hope and inspiration to turn back the tide on species and habitat loss, climate change, and viral outbreaks, all of which threaten people, animals and ecosystems. One way to regain hope and realize our vision is to celebrate what we already have – Earth’s natural beauty, and the harmony that exists between people and nature in many places. And to scale it.

This vision is shared by Freeland and our partners in EarthTeam. We practice the “Planetary Health” approach to protect planet, people and animals through nature protection (wildlife and habitats) and regenerative agriculture.

We recognize the power and vital importance of good stories and storytellers to help inspire local and global action. Therefore, we seek inspiring films that cover any or all of the following topics, which can be in short, medium or feature length, focusing on target audiences of all ages and geographies:

· Protecting wildlife or people from trafficking;

· Protecting natural habitats (terrestrial or marine) from any threat;

· Protecting nature and people’s health through regenerative agriculture;

· “Planetary Health” or “One Health” models or approaches.
