in englischer SpracheBis 2050 wird die Weltbevölkerung auf rund neun Milliarden Menschen anwachsen. Der Klimawandel und die Verknappung von Rohstoffen werden sich weiter verschärfen. Was können wir tun um die Folgen des Klimawandels zu bewältigen und wie gehen wir in Zukunft mit Ernährungsengpässen um? Wie schaffen wir den Umstieg auf ökologisch nachhaltige Wirtschafts- und Industriesysteme? Sollen wir das bestehende System kollabieren lassen um es neu aufzubauen?

Werner BOOTE
Freelancer and Director, Vienna
| Born in 1965 in Vienna, Werner Boote started out as a cable boy. He studied drama and theater arts, journalism and sociology at the University of Vienna and at the film academy. After years of being an assistant director (to Robert Dornhelm, Ulrich Seidl, Bud Spencer, Marvin Chomsky and others) Boote began making his own films in 1993. His initial focus was on music, including the videos Anouk - Sacrifice (1999) and Andrea Bocelli - Tuscan Skies (2002). Numerous award-winning music documentaries followed, for example Kurt Rydl - The Gladiator (2007), which was nominated for the FIPA European Film Award. In 2009, his first feature film, Plastic Planet, arrived in Austrian cinemas and won the Golden Romy for "Best Documentary Feature". It went on to appear in over 80 countries and accomplished countless changes in legislation, industry and society. "It is one of those rare call-to-action documentaries that roused viewers to do something against plastics." (Variety) In the movie Population Boom (2013), Boote did away with the widespread worldview of overpopulation and called for distributive justice. The film was crowned with the Green Me Award for the Best Green documentary in Berlin. After the evocative documentary Everything´s under Control (2015) about the self-evidence of pervasive surveillance, his new film The Green Lie opens in March 2018 and premieres at the Berlin International Film Festival (Berlinale). From 1993 to 2002, Werner Boote lived and worked in Amsterdam. He now resides in Vienna |
