The Atlantis nature and environment Film Festival runs from 9 to 17 October in the Caligari FilmBuhne, Wiesbaden. Culture and Environment Councillor Rita Thies, Katja Wiese and Managing Director Naturefund Kane agency project manager on Monday the program of this year’s Atlantis of nature and environment Film Festival presented. Atlantis is the only natural and environmental Festival in the entire German-speaking world, both showing nature films as well as documentaries about the environment and awarded. It takes place for the third time this year and shows spectacular movies like ‘ hunting season the whalers on the Spur’, ‘Birdwatchers’ or as one of the few the cinema version of ‘HOME’, the great masterpiece by Yann Arthus-Bertrand. Naturefund is partner of the Atlantis nature and environment Film Festival this year for the first time.
Rita Thies, initiator of the film festival, said the idea of Atlantis: Atlantis, the legendary fantastic Island Empire, is in the myth inextricably linked to his demise: in just a day and a night, Atlantis sank into the ocean. If we today see the fantastic beauty of our nature, usually also the thought of the dangers of this nature is present to us. Nature and the environment are now inextricably linked and Atlantis is to remember the name of the fantastic and its impermanence. We will lose forever orangutans or blue whales, if we can’t get their habitats.\” From this point of view the dates of the Festival is especially suitable, in October this year since just a few weeks after the Festival the UN climate change conference in Copenhagen takes place, by which many hope, that the community decides finally effective climate protection measures. Many films show impressively that this is urgently necessary. If you want to know what is at stake in Copenhagen, is right at the Atlantis nature and environment Film Festival.
