02/07/2012 - The Berlinale international film festival, starting this week, will host a debate on – as the program puts it – “Greening the film industry”. Protagonists of the creative industries “could become pioneers of change if they produce in a climate-friendly way and communicate this,” says Fritz Reusswig from the Potsdam-Institute for Climate Impact Research. The debate is part of an initiative of the Climate Media Factory, a joint research project of the Potsdam-Institute for Climate Impact Research and the Hochschule für Film und Fernsehen “Konrad Wolf”, supported by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research.
Sociologist Reusswig is already an advisor to the Green Music Initiative. He will be one of the panelists, together with – amongst others – Bernd Hezel from the Climate Media Factory, Georg Schattney of the Forest Carbon Group, and Christian Goldbeck, production designer of important German movies like “The Reader”, “Krabat” and now “Home for the weekend” which premières in this year‘s Berlinale Competition.
