Greenspotting

2024 • 51m

“Love of nature starts with watching closely,” director Sanne Rovers’ father replies when she asks him how she can counter the helplessness she feels about biodiversity loss, global warming, and the Dutch ‘nitrogen crisis’. “Whatever you love, you cherish.” In Greenspotting, Rovers pays a visual tribute to conservationists like her father who, each in their own way, try to protect and improve their little piece of nature. We share some of their small discoveries and successes. But we also experience their struggles with the desperate feeling of futility affecting them at times. Urgent as well as poetic, Greenspotting is a mosaic-like film about love of nature, sense of connection to a place, sorrow about what is disappearing and hope about what could be changed.
