Opening of the 22nd Darß Nature Film Festival 2026
The 22nd Darß Nature Film Festival kicks off with a special highlight: a film concert featuring a live performance of the music from the film “Wild Art—Are Animals Creative?”
Do the roots of our art extend back into the animal kingdom—and if so, what do the animals themselves gain from it? As is well known, art requires time and effort—apparent disadvantages in the struggle for survival. But when dance, song, and architecture become powerful arts of seduction, the effort pays off. The film explores this fascinating question and impressively demonstrates just how creative the animal kingdom truly is.
