ForadCamp 2025 announces the 14th Nature Film Exhibition

October 25 and 26 in Figaró-Montmany: independent cinema and outdoor activities in the heart of nature

ForadCamp 2025, the 14th Nature Film Exhibition, has announced the dates for its new edition, which will take place on October 25 and 26 in Figaró-Montmany, at the foot of the Montseny Natural Park. Once again, the festival will offer a selection of documentaries and fiction films that explore the relationship between people and nature through unique, committed, and innovative perspectives.

This edition will feature four films, both documentaries and fiction works, reaffirming ForadCamp’s commitment to independent, sensitive, and personal cinema.

Among the highlights are El eco, by Tatiana Huezo, a delicate and powerful portrait of childhood and rural life in a remote Mexican valley; and As the tide comes in, by Juan Palacios and Sofie Husum Johannesen, an atmospheric documentary depicting the poetic decline of a Danish coastal community.

The program will also include A Happy Day, by Hisham Zaman, a tender and moving story about three young refugees dreaming of escaping from a detention center in northern Norway.

This year, ForadCamp Kids will present Flow, by Gints Zilbalodis, an animated adventure without dialogue, full of visual poetry and awarded the 2025 Oscar for Best Animated Feature. The film reflects on coexistence, the fragility of the planet, and the need to cooperate in order to survive in a changing world.

On Sunday morning, the festival will also offer a guided excursion through Vallcàrquera: “The Hidden Secrets of the Valley”, a peaceful walk to discover the fauna, flora, and stories of this unique natural landscape.

ForadCamp is organized by the Municipality of Figaró-Montmany and coordinated by the Association of Independent Documentary Filmmakers INDOC. Year after year, the event celebrates independent and sensitive cinema, closely connected to nature as a space for life and reflection.

ForadCamp 2024 Announces the XIII Nature Film Exhibition

October 26 and 27 in Figaró-Montmany: quality cinema and activities in the heart of nature

ForadCamp 2024, the XIII Nature Film Festival, has announced the dates for its next edition, which will take place on October 26 and 27 in Figaró-Montmany, a privileged natural setting at the foot of the Montseny Natural Park. Once again, the festival will offer a selection of feature films where nature takes center stage, whether as the protagonist, the setting, or an essential element.

This year, ForadCamp will present five cinematic works, both documentaries and fiction, standing out for their variety of origins and approaches, reaffirming its commitment to personal, innovative, and independent cinema.

Among the selections are the most recent works of two directors who have already made their mark in previous editions. La hojarasca, by Macu Machín, is a hypnotic piece that explores the passage of time and the connection between a family of women and the landscape they inhabit. Meanwhile, «El bon auguri», by Alba Bresolí, is a poetic and profound story about natural cycles and their symbolic relationship with human lives.

The festival will also offer a global perspective with films that address current issues. Searching for Nika, by Stanislav Kapralov, provides a poignant chronicle of the impact of war and the power of solidarity in the midst of conflict. On the other hand, First Cow, by renowned director Kelly Reichardt, sensitively narrates a story of friendship, survival, and the relationship with the environment in a wild landscape.

This year, ForadCamp Kids will offer a space designed especially for families, with the screening of Sirocco and the Kingdom of the Winds, by Benoît Chieux. This magical and fantastical film invites both young and old to embark on a brave and captivating adventure.

Additionally, guided as always by the Aprèn team, we will take a hike through Sot del Bac and the Congost Valley. Don’t forget to reserve your tickets!

ForadCamp is a film festival organized by the Figaró-Montmany City Council and coordinated by the Independent Documentary Filmmakers Association INDOC. Year after year, the event seeks to connect the natural environment with high-quality, personal cinema with a strong innovative spirit.
