A festival that connects nature and curiosity
Behind the name is the international nature film festival GREEN SCREEN, which has established itself as an important festival for nature documentaries in Europe and will celebrate its 20th festival year in 2026. In Braunschweig, it becomes a clever youth format: six nature short films, one vote per child, a real competition, and at the end, a winning film that will be honored as part of the big festival in Eckernförde. This is festival organization with educational added value and a true community idea. ([greenscreen-festival.de](https://www.greenscreen-festival.de/))
How the nature film experience works
The screening takes place in the seminar room of the city library, doors open at 4:15 PM, and it starts at 4:30 PM. The format is intentionally low-threshold: free of charge, no registration required, and specifically aimed at young nature film fans. This mixture of accessibility, clear structure, and emotional nature cinema is what makes it appealing. Those who take a seat here will experience no anonymous screen routine, but a compact festival feeling in an urban cultural space.

The special feature of Palle's short film award
At the center is the audience decision of the children. The films will be screened in several libraries in Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg, and Lower Saxony, the votes will be counted, and the winning film will be determined. The winning film receives a prize of 1,000 euros. This adds surprising tension to the morning in Braunschweig, as every vote counts, and every reaction in the room contributes to the festival moment.
