Doc, Italian Premiere, First Film
How do you connect with nature? A journey through UK landscapes and the communities within them. Inspired by Robert Macfarlane and Jackie Morris’s book The Lost Words, the film moves through the seasons following the tracks of some lost words like “acorn,” “otter,” and “bluebell”, removed from the Oxford Junior Dictionary in 2007. From remote landscapes to museum archives and scientists’ labs, children, elders, artists, and activists share stories and emotions, inviting us to reflect on our own bond with nature. The climate crisis poses a pressing question: how do we restore our care and connection with the natural world?
