Dear WWOOFers and Hosts, There is a new way to tell the story of our connection to the earth, and it is through the lens of a camera. We are happy to present the second edition of Corto Botanico<\/strong>, the film contest that challenges filmmakers and enthusiasts to create a short film in just 96 hours<\/strong>! <\/p>\n\n

This year’s central theme is powerful and as relevant as ever: RESILIENCE<\/strong>. Just like the plants we admire on our farms – able to take root among the rocks, defy the elements and flourish again where it seemed impossible – we too are called to tell stories of resilience and the vital relationship between the plant world and human beings. <\/p>\n\n

\ud83c\udf3f How does it work?<\/h3>\n\n

The contest takes place in Florence<\/strong>, in collaboration with the historic Tuscan Horticultural Society<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  1. Registration:<\/strong> There is time until April 17, 2026<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. The Launch (April 26):<\/strong> Each team will be assigned a specific plant<\/strong> and a secret phrase to be included in the short film.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. The Challenge:<\/strong> 96 hours to conceive, shoot and edit a maximum 9-minute film.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. The Awards Ceremony (April 30):<\/strong> Screening and final party in the impressive Tepidarium of the Horticulture Garden.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

    \ud83c\udf0d Why participate?<\/h3>\n\n

    Whether you are an experienced filmmaker or just a nature lover with a smartphone in hand, Corto Botanico is an opportunity to give voice (and images) to biodiversity<\/strong>. It is an invitation to look at plants not just as background, but as active protagonists of our daily resistance. <\/p>\n\n
