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.

Don’t miss ForadCamp 2025 and let yourself be captivated by the power of cinema and nature!

ForadCamp 2022 Festival Awards

Can Gardell

«Can Gardell», by Sílvia Subirós and Florencia Aliberti.

 

The XI edition of ForadCamp Nature and Film Festival took place in Figaró-Montmany on September 17 and 18. In addition to the Official Competitive Section, other outdoor spaces and activities related to cinema have been offered, at the foot of the Montseny Natural Park. A total of two hundred people have enjoyed high quality and personal cinema in which nature is the protagonist, context or reason for reflection.

A solid and diverse Official Section has shown a dozen works from the United Kingdom, Netherlands and Germany, co-productions from South Africa and France, Hungary and Belgium, and a wide presence of shorts from the Spanish territory.

The jury for this edition, composed by Cloe Masotta, Rubén Margalló and Federico Delpero, has awarded the Best Short Film Award (awarded the ForadCamp Rain Trophy and €300 in cash), for «Can Gardell», by Sílvia Subirós and Florencia Aliberti, “for the projection of a critical gaze, full of irony, to a rural world presented as a neoliberal fetish.” The jury has also awarded a special mention to «The day they blew up the mountain», by Alba Bresolí Aliberch, “for showing the capacity of cinema to preserve the vestiges of a reality in extinction. »

The Distribution Award, sponsored by Festhome and awarded by the INDOC Association, went to «Some Kind of intimacy» by Toby Bull, «for being an honest portrait in which the director, with minimal brushstrokes, depicts the relationship between human beings and nature, between life and death”.

The Special Mention granted by the Granollers Cultural Association, has been ‘ex aequo’ to the films: «Memory», by Nerea Barros and «The day that They blew up the mountain», by Alba Bresolí Aliberch. The mention has been granted in recognition of the work and good use of narration, photography and montage.

And, finally, the Audience Award has gone to «The day they blew up the mountain», by Alba Bresolí Aliberch.

We thank the great team of people who have made this edition possible. We look forward to seeing you next year!
