THE NATURE & ENVIRONMENT FILM FESTIVAL

Each year, the FNE Isère International Nature & Environment Film Festival offers Isère residents several days of screenings accompanied by debates at the heart of the news.

​

A unique militant and cultural meeting in Isère

Each year, this event helps the public to become aware of ecological issues and promotes the work of filmmakers of nature or related to the environment. Contemplative or committed, these short and feature films all bear witness to the extraordinary richness concealed in nature that is always surprising, beautiful and as fragile as it is precious. It is an unmissable event for audiovisual professionals as well as for nature lovers and environmental defenders. This festival is attended by everyone, children and adults.

 

It also aims to make new talents known, to encourage and support the creation and production of all types of productions: reports, documentaries, cartoons, animated films, fiction films and cinematographic productions related to the nature and environment.

​

Awards

The Festival jury will award the nominations "Golden Hedgehog", "Silver Hedgehog" in the "Nature" and "Environment" categories and the Short Film Prize among the films screened within the framework of the general public festival. Schoolchildren will vote for their "Young Audience Favorite" at the end of the school festival.

 

The little history of the Festival

Under the Honorary Presidency of Hubert Reeves since 1999, the International Nature & Environment Film Festival was created in 1976 by FRAPNA Isère (which in 2019 became FNE Isère). It was the very first festival in France entirely devoted to animal and environmental film.

1976: Creation of the Festival

1996: The Festival becomes annual

1999: The Festival is enriched with an entertainment program "off" in the city

2002: For its 17th edition, the festival expands and takes up residence at Alpes Congrès - Grenoble.

2007: The Festival gets closer to Grenoblois by taking place at Parc Mistral

2012: FRAPNA joins forces with the Méliès arthouse cinema in the new ecological district Caserne de Bonne. A partnership nourished by a popular education approach in order to give all citizens access to the riches of nature and the environment through images.

2016: The screenings are spread over two weeks in new rooms: Le Club, La Nef, L'Odyssée, the Muséum de Grenoble

The Festival Commission

Behind the scenes of the Festival, many of them work to concoct each year a program rich in debates, favorites and surprises. Composed of volunteers, the Festival commission is:

  • About fifteen volunteers and two employees

  • Over 300 hours of film viewing since February (a film is seen by at least 3 people before being selected!)

  • An essential presence throughout the event
