ImMerse Festival; Film Showing “InNature” and inspiring rewilding film “Why Not Scotland?”

Following “In Nature” films by talented young filmmakers from Annan, is Scotland – The Big Picture’s inspiring and empowering film, “Why Not Scotland?”
Across mainland Europe, nature is making a dramatic recovery. Wildlife is returning, forests are expanding, rivers are being set free and wetlands restored. As nature bounces back, people are returning too, finding new economic opportunities and enjoying the many benefits of a revitalised landscape.
So, if rewilding can happen in Italy, Germany, Poland and Norway, could Scotland be next?
Why Not Scotland? is a feature-length documentary. The film accompanies Flo, a young Scot from Glasgow, on an intensely personal journey, as she seeks out examples of nature recovery around Europe. Like many of her generation, Flo is concerned by the state of nature and fearful about an uncertain future. However, during her travels, she discovers places where nature is making a spectacular comeback, breathing life back into the landscape and revitalising human communities. Encouraged by these stories of hope and renewal, she is prompted to wonder: Why Not Scotland?
The films will be followed by a panel discussion.
