Greenmotions Film Festival

Greenmotions inspires and encourages people to take active participation in the transition towards a regenerative culture in which humanity harmonises with the rest of the natural world.

For a lot of us there seems to be a gap between this vision and the reality of our daily lives. And that’s where your films come in.
We screen solution-oriented, constructive and empowering films dealing with the environment and beyond: consciousness | mindfulness | psychology | sociology | art.

Along with the inspiring feature and short films under the general theme beyond sustainability, this year we have a prize for the the special topic:

OUR WATER

Water is our origin, it’s our future. We’re tied to it.
Human interaction with water is expressed through a myriad of themes.
They range from the most basic; from access to water among the world’s demographics, all the way to more complex interactions like scarcity, drought, water pollution and the economic values of water - how we use the resource to move our ships across that build our cities upon it.
When you look at all these interactions through different channels, you see the common behaviour is one of misuse, mismanagement, miscommunication and disharmony with the world. And that is the biggest challenge, wether it’s water or fossil fuels or loss of biodiversity or climate change ... it’s our interaction and our mindset that creates the reality we live in.
This year we invite you to share stories from around the world about our water and the inspiring humans tackling and transforming our interactions with this fundamental element to all life. Surprise us!

Selected inspiring documentaries/feature films (20-120 minutes) and the special topic “Our Water” will be screened at the festival along with the best short films (up to 20 minutes) from our international short film competition. Furthermore, bicycle cinemas will be organised in schools where the students will provide power to run the projector for the films by paddling their bikes as well as a bicycle-powered opening techno party.
