In the enchanting Wolfwalkers, young Robyn discovers a hidden world in the forests of 17th-century Ireland, where magic and reality merge. She befriends Mebh, a girl who transforms into a wolf at night, and learns to see the world with new eyes. This visually stunning animated film is not only an adventurous fairy tale, but also a deeply ecological story about the connection between humans, animals and the earth. Wolfwalkers invites us to dream, but also to reconsider our view of nature and our place in it. In a world that is becoming increasingly rational and controlled, this film celebrates the imaginative imagination as a necessary force for change.

This film is part of a series of nine inspiring films, selected in collaboration with film house Slieker. All these films touch on the theme of Arcadia, Grûn. Grûn is where everything begins. It nourishes us, protects us and connects us. But how do we deal with this?
In a world that is constantly changing, the need for solid ground under our feet grows. Whether it is coming home, as in Sigur Ros: Heima, or starting over as in The Old Oak. When the solid ground under your feet disappears, as figuratively in En Fanfare and literally in No Other Land, uncertainty arises, while Wilde Mossels is about the courage to escape from your roots. Where documentary Onder het Maaiveld shows how essential the smallest life under our feet is, in the special sci-fi Vesper, Tim Burton's Big Fish and animated film Wolfwalkers you can escape from reality with fantastic stories about people and nature and the natural nature of man. Come and watch all the films in Bouwurk and be touched, surprised and perhaps even made to think!
This event takes place in the White Box in Bouwurk on the Oldehoofsterkerkhof in Leeuwarden, Friesland.
