Cinematic art meets pleasure
Food, enjoyment, and the environment are the focus of the Culinary Nature Film Series. As members of the ländlichfein initiative, the chefs at the Hotel Haferland present small, organically produced delicacies from Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The nature and environmental films shown after the meal are mostly award-winning and showcase the beauty of the planet, as well as the fragility of life on Earth. Enjoy this experience for all the senses and get a taste of the 22nd Darß Nature Film Festival, which will take place from October 6 to 11, 2026.
Film “The Forest Maker”
Through stunning images, Oscar® winner Volker Schlöndorff lets viewers witness how, thanks to one man’s passion, an entire region is flourishing once again. In 1981, Australian Tony Rinaudo arrived in Niger as a young agricultural scientist and gave the people hope through his unprecedented reforestation efforts. (Germany // 2021 // 87 min.)
