The Rebellion of the Drops (La rebelión de las gotas)
A simple drop of water realizes the unfair distribution of water in the world, the waste of some and the need of others. She makes a decision and acts.
Kreta the Time Traveler
Two extra-terrestrials, Kreta and Shiva, happen on the Voyager spacecraft. The encounter leaves them curious about Planet Earth, home to the strange ‘human’ species, and they decide to pay it a visit.
I See (Ni Wapiten)
Ni Wapiten is a plea to better respect Mother Earth. In this poetic film, we follow a child's journey through the woods to his community's local dump. Playfully, he reuses the waste to build a bear, symbolizing nature.

A mother navigates her flooding house while trying to protect her children.
You Are Not Small

Soep
A castaway is trapped on a small sandbank. One day he digs a plastic masonry tub out of the sand and tries to escape the island with it. However, the sea has other plans and takes the castaway on a confrontational excursion.
Make It Myself
"Make It Myself" encourages kids to think about what they can make themselves, rather than buying new. The upbeat video is packed with energy, creativity, and concrete ideas for educational and sustainable projects.
Closed captions available
What's Up with the Sky? (Què li passa al cel?)
The sun rises happily over the horizon and is welcomed by the most beautiful landscape. The humans also wake up and do what they always do: cut down trees, construct aimlessly and pollute without shame. What they do not realize is that whatever they do will affect them sooner or later.

This collection of shorts celebrates the wonders of our planet – from the forests to the seas! Follow along and be inspired to make your own promise to preserve our natural home.


This program will also screen in person at NWFF on Sunday, Feb. 4 at 3:30pm! VIRTUAL, IN-PERSON, and HYBRID (virtual AND in-person) Festival Passes are available.
