The NATURE & CULTURE: International Poetry Film Festival 2025
October 11, Copenhagen – November 5, Calgary
The Nature & Culture International Poetry Film Festival returns in 2025 with a transcontinental program linking Copenhagen, Denmark, and Calgary, Canada. Presented by Red Door and the Poetic Phonotheque in partnership with Husets Biograf and the Calgary Public Library, the festival continues its exploration of the intersections between poetic language, cinema, and ecological and cultural narratives.
The 2025 edition unfolds across two cities, weaving a poetic thread between continents. On October 11, Husets Biograf in Copenhagen will host the European program, followed by the Canadian edition on November 5 at the Calgary Public Library. In both cities, audiences will experience an international selection of 32 films from 18 countries, including documentaries, poetry films, animations, experimental works, and short narratives, a program accompanied by live performances.
This year’s festival presents four curated “microfestivals,” each an hour-long journey into a distinct constellation of themes:
• EARTHWORKS & ECOLOGIES: Cinematic meditations on land, water, climate, and more-than-human worlds, reflecting on resilience, fragility, and our shared responsibility to the living earth.
• MIGRATION, MEMORY & MYTH: Poetic journeys through displacement and belonging, exploring archives, languages, diaspora, and ancestral stories.
• CITY / CIRCUIT / SKIN: Works traversing urban landscapes, digital frictions, and hybrid ecologies, where bodies, infrastructures, and technologies intersect.
• DREAMING FORMS: Experimental and surreal approaches to rhythm, voice, and image, opening prophetic, playful, and dreamlike reimaginings of the world.
In addition to film screenings, the program will include live poetry readings, filmmaker talks, and critical conversations, offering audiences a space for dialogue on pressing issues of environment, culture, identity, and imagination. Selected works will also join the Poetic Phonotheque’s international collection of poetry films, continuing the festival’s role as both artistic platform and archival project.
Further program details will be announced in the coming weeks.
