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", we have a yearly prize for the special topic:

2022 TOPIC: Women's empowerment and agency in relation to climate change, biodiversity and ecosystem loss.

Description:

Around the world, patriarchal structures have long impeded women's access to environmental decision-making and legislation.
However, in recent decades, many international movements are demanding a voice in environmental policy-making while building inspiring and influential global networks. Women and young people are increasingly represented in leading climate activist initiatives and demand their right to influence climate policy and justice, gender and the future of our world.

The Greenmotions Filmfestival dedicates this year's special topic to all FLINTA* pioneers, key persons, committed and courageous people who stand up for environmental protection, climate justice and feminism.
Dear Filmmakers: We invite you to share your empowerment stories with us and tell them at the Greenmotions Edition 2022! Surprise us!

Selected inspiring documentaries/feature films (20-120 minutes) and the special topic “Women's empowerment and agency in relation to climate change, biodiversity and ecosystem loss” 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.
