2022 Theme

2022 THEME RESILIENCE

This year’s 75 film selections share stories of resilience and triumph in the wild, from the microscopic to the epic. In nature, beings push themselves to the limit to survive. Survival requires skill, ingenuity, and resilience, especially in today’s landscape. These are the stories that our preliminary jury prioritized this year when making selections.

We’ve taken care to curate especially resilient stories in our collection this year. The most recent years have continuously faced pain and devastation to our environment that are essential to share and those stories are represented. We hope you find that the 2022 Resilience-in-the-Wild collection will lift you up.

Look for the turtle icon to highlight particularly resilient festival selections.
