Feature-length Films/Documentaries about Symbiosis Between Humans & Nature

Feature-length Documentaries and Fictional Films about Symbiosis between Humans and Nature through the lens of Abandoning Symbiosis and/or Symbiotic Harmony.

This program is dedicated to promoting public awareness of stories, issues, and challenges about symbiosis on Earth. Our responsibility is to protect habitats and relationships between humans and nature that are slowly losing contact. Showcasing films that focus on either the abandonment of symbiosis or the encouragement of symbiosis can emphasize the current problems and solutions we face in modern civilization. Films that may be submitted could be solely about symbiotic separation and symbiotic harmony, or include both thematic elements.

John Burton Conservation Award: Films about Conservationists

Films about  Conservationists from all around the world. Named after conservationist John Burton, this award will spotlight films about nature conservation with a strong directorial vision. With this award, SunChild IEF wants to honor the memory of John Burton, who passed away in May 2022. The award will be granted to the best conservation films about individuals, who strive to make a change in the world. John Burton was a revolutionary, visionary, and inspirational conservationist whose creative thinking saved over 300,000 hectares of threatened habitat from damaging development. He challenged the usual approaches to preserving wild creatures and their habitats. Sir David Attenborough described him as “a truly wonderful man, more altruistic, more energetic, braver and more original than almost anyone I have known.”
