Nature is a spectacle. The International Festival Nature Namur (FINN) decided to stage it each year by devoting an momentous week. If FINN has given itself a mission it’s that of wonder. By sharing with the public exceptional images, it raises awareness of the richness of the natural world around  and encourages  to adopt a responsible attitude in relation to its environment.

 

Born in 1995, the Finn is now the meeting place for the lovers of nature and beautiful images, bringing together each year more than 35.000 spectators and visitors of all backgrounds! With it’s three international competitions - photos, home movies and professional films - and it’s many outdoor activities, it is now placed among the 5 biggest European events of the kind, bringing together  each year photographers and filmmakers from around the world.
