Fire, Water, Earth, Air
Ewa Cederstam, Janne Lindgren, Rógvi Rasmussen & Phie Ambo / Denmark, Sweden, Norway & Faroe Islands / 2026 / World Premiere / 85 min
Four stories from the Nordic region paint a picture of a changing natural world, where the elements rage and where being prepared proves to be much more than sandbags and fire extinguishers.
Forest fires are spreading, sea levels are rising, storms are becoming more violent, and landscapes are changing. Climate change is no longer something that happens far away. It is here now, also in the North. Nature is giving us clear signs. The question is whether – and how – we listen.
‘Fire, Water, Earth, Air’ takes us to four Nordic communities in Denmark, Norway, Sweden and the Faroe Islands. The film explores what happens when the crisis draws near and the most important resource turns out to be our neighbors: those who live right next door and the community we share across the Nordic region.
Through the everyday lives of ordinary people, set in dialogue with science, we experience how we can get through crises when we choose to stand together. It is a hopeful story about how old ties to nature and to each other can help us find new common answers in a changing world.
