Rik van der Linden

In 2020, I decided to serve nature as a documentary filmmaker. This choice stems from a sense of urgency and sadness about the speed at which we are losing life on the one hand, and by the wonder of that life on the other. In my belief, the way we relate to nature underlies the crises that are upon us. We have a world to win if we start using our talents to restore ecosystems and discover nature as a community of life, of which we are a part. 

In my work, I lend the eyes and ears of people close to nature to the viewer in order to convey their wonder and invite us to become more aware of the life around us. There is also always a layer that digs deeper, philosophically and emotionally, to create space for a fundamental shift towards regeneration.
