Climate Clips - Renewable Energy

This special competition in collaboration with the Nagelschneider Foundation is taking place for the third time at the 30th Munich International Festival of Film Schools in 2010. Film students from around the world are eligible to enter. The award is endowed with € 5000.

The Nagelschneider Foundation hopes this special competition will contribute to arousing the interest of film students around the world in this subject. The more students, the more diverse the films and greater the possibility of increasing awareness of the following questions:

What are the causes and effects of the global climate crisis? How do changes in the climate affect our future? How can we best protect our climate and ecosystems individually, collectively, locally and globally? And one of the most fundamental questions is: how are we going to satisfy our enormous need for energy and save the climate at the same time? Just how will we provide energy in the future and what will the repercussions be?

Film students from all over the world are invited to present their personal insights on climate change and new forms of energy in a globally comprehensible film language - in short clips. These clips can be documentaries, fiction, comedies, satires or dramas – all forms of artistic expression. They just have to be one thing - convincing!

These short film clips from around the world can play an important part in grasping the condition of our planet, understanding the hopes and desires in reversing the way we use the natural world and, lastly to spread knowledge on these new attempts to save the climate.

The CLIMATE CLIP AWARD is endowed with € 5.000 by the Nagelschneider Foundation. The three best clips will have their world premieres at the festival.
