I would suggest: a big part of Japanese cinema, since as you may already know they have a different conception of and relationship with nature (in complete opposition to Lars von Trier's depiction for example).
One of the most interesting could be Himatsuri - Fire Festival (1985), taking place in a village where woodsmen worship the mountain goddess and the fishermen the goddess of the sea, and where the protagonist is a lumberjack who fall deeply in love with the mountain goddess at the expense of human beings.
Also of interest are Naomi Kawase's films, especially Moe no suzaku (1997) and The Mourning Forest (2007), both winners at Cannes Film Festival.
And of course, all Hayao Miyazaki's animation films, especially Nausicaa and Princess Mononoke.
