What is the Roma EcoFilm Fest?

The Roma Ecofilm Fest is a venue for movies that investigate our relationship to nature and help us interact with it. The festival showcases pieces that challenge the notion of human exceptionalism and prompt us to reconsider our position in broader ecological frameworks. We highlight movies that depict the wilderness as something with its own existence, significance, and worth rather than just as scenery.

The intention is to establish a venue for films that promote introspection, increase consciousness, and add to discussions on our interconnectedness with the natural world and our duty to protect it. We can see more clearly how our actions impact the environment we share with other animals and ecosystems thanks to cinema, but more importantly, we need to begin accepting the reality that we are one with nature rather than apart from it.

Anyone interested in the connections between culture, the environment, and storytelling should attend this festival. Filmmakers, students, activists, educators, and anybody else who wishes to delve deeper into ecological interconnectedness subjects through cinema are among our audience members. We welcome those who are already working in the environmental field as well as those who are just starting to inquire.

The Roma EcoFilm Fest has a clear goal: to raise awareness and encourage thoughtful discussion about how we see our relationship with nature and how it significantly affects the environmental issues we face. By establishing a venue where intelligent, eye-catching films can elicit fresh perspectives and motivate action, change is promoted. It is hoped that the festival would help viewers rediscover the wild and rethink how we regard nature—not as something apart from us, but as a part of us. It is urged to acknowledge the wider perspective of what it means to live effectively on a shared world through the medium of film.
