WILDSCREEN VIRTUAL EDITION
BRISTOL, UK
'MY 25: The Ocean Between Us' - Film Screening
The 2020 Official Selection honours 35 productions, including 17 feature length and 18 short films, that are as diverse in style and subject as the natural world. The entries hail from 14 countries across 5 continents, each bringing a new perspective to the natural world and humanity’s relationship with it.
​
The myriad of complex relationships that exist between humans and nature features heavily amongst the selections which Wildscreen hopes will make a powerful contribution to the discussion on inclusion and diversity within the wildlife and conservation sector globally.
​
We received hundreds of submissions and worked with a team of pre-selectors and programmers to curate a screening programme that features original and creative stories about the natural world. The natural world is beautifully diverse and this strength will be reflected through the voices heard, tools used and stories shared within the Wildscreen Official Selection.
