DOK.fest goes Nantesbuch: DAS FLÜSTERN DER WÄLDER
in cooperation with Stiftung Kunst und Natur – Nantesbuch
In the heart of the Bavarian foothills of the Alps, Gut Nantesbuch is surrounded by forests, meadows and moors. This is where the Art and Nature Foundation works on its extensive nature grounds: on approx. 320 ha, it develops and maintains the landscape with comprehensive measures in renaturation, landscape conservation, forest conversion and extensive agriculture and forestry. The "Langes Haus" serves as a central event venue and starting point for a diverse cultural and educational programme. Since summer 2022, we have been able to present documentary films here in an exceptional location.
