The Darß Nature Film Festival has existed on the Fischland-Darß-Zingst peninsula since 2005.
During this time it has developed steadily.
The nature film award to be awarded as part of the festival is the most important German award in the genre.
Wieck - The Darß Nature Film Festival wants to focus on the local nature this year.
At the beginning on Tuesday evening, the film "Wilde Heimkehrer" can be seen on the open-air stage in Prerow.
It is about animals such as lynxes, minks, pond turtles and ground squirrels, which are now supposed to return to their old home.
The special thing about this performance is that the music comes from film music composer Sebastian Schmidt, who will play live with his small ensemble of musicians from the Rostock University of Music and Theater (HMT), said festival director Kai Lüdeke.
