This year’s Green Eye Festival will be held on January 23rd and 24th  as part of the celebration of the 40th anniversary of the establishment of the Krka National Park. This film festival, which combines art, education, and activism, is dedicated to the key themes of sustainable development, ecological stability, and the preservation of nature.

During the two-day festival, visitors will be able to watch five films about environmental protection, written by some of the most famous producers and directors in the field. In addition to socializing after the screenings, educational panel discussions will be held to discuss sustainable development and practical steps leading to ecological stability.

Screenings, panels, and a concert in honor of the 40th birthday of the Krka National Park

The festival opens with the short film How to Save Our Planet, which sets the stage for deeper reflection on the future of our planet. It is followed by the exciting documentary Sanctuary, which tells the story of a mission to protect Antarctica. The film follows the journey of the brothers Javier and Carlos Bardem, who, as spokespersons for the Antarctic Sanctuary campaign, use the tools at their disposal to raise awareness and gain support for the initiative.

On Thursday afternoon, the film Green City Life is scheduled, which attempts to answer the questions of what makes a city healthy, namely how to build the greener and cleaner cities of tomorrow by reconnecting with nature and combining the benefits of a rural life with the advantages of the urban world. This inspiring documentary connects solutions such as regeneration, urban agriculture, and the use of bio-waste to build greener and healthier cities for all.

The second day opens with the particularly emotional documentary Once You Know, which deals with the climate crisis and possible solutions that could lead us to a more sustainable world. This is followed by Wilding, the story of a young couple who bet on nature for the future of their decaying, four-hundred-year-old estate. By tearing down the fences, the couple return the land to the wild and entrust its recovery to a motley crew of animals, both domesticated and wild. It is the beginning of a grand experiment that will become one of the most significant rewilding experiments in Europe.

The festival closes with the documentary 2040. The award-winning director Damon Gameau embarks on a journey to explore what the future could look like in 2040 if we simply embrace the solutions to improve the state of our planet that are already available to us now.

All of the above titles have one common goal, which is to encourage people to think and call them to action with the aim of preserving the environment for future generations. The Festival Programme booklet with a detailed schedule of events can be found here.

On Friday, January 24th at 8:30 PM, the Arsen House of Arts in Šibenik will host a concert by Goran Karan as a gift from the Public Institute of Krka National Park to the members of the Friends of the Krka Club on the occasion of its 40th birthday celebration.
