Love Notes to Nature

Love Notes to Nature follows writer Dal Kular as she reflects on her relationship to land and the natural world, weaving themes of ancestry, displacement, and belonging. As a woman of Punjabi heritage born in the UK, Dal explores how inherited histories of migration have shaped her connection to nature, and how reclaiming that connection can be an act of healing and resistance. The short documentary was commissioned by Sheffield DocFest as part of the Filmmaker Challenge 2025, filmed in a single day around Sheffield and Stanage Edge and edited in another. A winner of Best Film at the British Mountaineering Council's Women in Adventure film competition 2025, Love Notes to Nature proves that adventure can be gentle, heart-led, and close to home.
