Myrthe Majoor is a Dutch animated filmmaker and nature advocate whose work blends storytelling, visual artistry, and environmental awareness. Passionate about inspiring people to protect the natural world, she combines her creative practice with active involvement in wildlife research and conservation. Majoor is also a volunteer wildlife researcher and an engaged member of the European Young Rewilders, connecting her artistic vision to broader rewilding initiatives and community action.

Her short video “Home” explores rewilding as a personal and transformative journey. Traveling to the Norwegian mountains, Majoor allowed wilderness to guide her back to a small forest of just two square kilometres near her city. Through attentive observation of the local wildlife, she learned to move like the roe deer, listen like foxes, observe silently like martens, and inhabit the forest with the curiosity of a polecat. By tuning into these creatures and the rhythms of the forest, she discovered a profound connection to herself, realizing that rewilding is as much about inner transformation as ecological restoration.

The work highlights rewilding as a holistic process, emphasizing coexistence, observation, and the cultivation of presence. Majoor shows that even in a small urban-adjacent forest, one can experience the lessons and rhythms of the wild. “Home” portrays nature as both teacher and mirror, illustrating how reconnecting with ecosystems can help humans rediscover parts of themselves that are often hidden.

Through this piece, Myrthe Majoor invites viewers to recognize that rewilding begins close to home – both in the landscapes around us and within ourselves – revealing that restoration and personal growth are deeply intertwined.
