Documentary films from all around the world will be presented at the Ekotopfilm – Envirofilm festival and compete in following categories:

A | Explore Nature – Nature and Natural Science – Nature and natural science films intended to inform and entertain by creatively exploring ecological systems and their inhabitants (people, flora, fauna).
