Four days of films, discussion and practical inspiration.
The Festival du Film Vert returns to Nyon from 12 to 15 March 2026, taking over the Salle Communale for a programme centred on ecology, biodiversity and solutions. This year’s edition focuses not just on raising awareness, but on highlighting people and projects already responding to environmental challenges.
Opening Night - Climate and the World of Work
The festival opens on Thursday 12 March (free entry, reservation required) with a screening of Éclaireurs, directed by Arthur Gosset. The film follows professionals whose careers are directly affected by climate disruption and who are choosing to rethink and transform their industries.
The screening will be followed by a roundtable discussion on how different professions are adapting to the climate crisis, organised in partnership with the Ville de Nyon.
Saturday: Art, Agriculture and Action
Saturday 14 March brings two standout screenings.
Una canción para mi tierra (A Song for My Earth), recently awarded at the Green Film Award, tells the story of a music teacher and his students who use song and performance to speak out against pesticide use. The film will be preceded by a live concert from Colour of Rice and followed by a short discussion on the role of art in defending the living world.
Later, Devenir Paysan traces the journey of Léonard, an HEC graduate and son of doctors, who decides to become a farmer. The film explores the realities of access to land, economic pressure and the search for meaning in agricultural work. A discussion with directors Alexia Tissières and Mathilde Vandaele will follow, focusing on agricultural transition and the renewal of farming professions.
Workshops and Nature-Inspired Creativity
Across Saturday and Sunday, the festival extends beyond screenings.
Origami artist and naturalist Jonathan Rebouillat will present an exhibition and lead workshops for both children and adults. Inspired by wildlife and the Amazon, his work combines observation, craft and environmental awareness.
Nature storytelling and activities led by Léman Nature will also form part of the weekend programme. Throughout the festival, filmmakers and specialists will be present for discussions, offering space for dialogue around ecological transition and biodiversity.
