Dok-Kino: ELEMENTS OF(F) BALANCE
AT 2025; Director: Othmar Schmiderer; Running time: 98 min. Language: GERMAN
Ecological interdependencies, co-creation, resilience, and collaboration in nature—Othmar Schmiderer's documentary film examines these topics against the backdrop of an increasingly threatened environment full of ecological challenges. Dead forests in Central Europe are coming back to life, floating beds are defying climate change, and the world's largest renaturation project is underway in China's dunes. Mushrooms are inspiring architecture and fashion, and AI is supporting biodiversity. The film shows possible approaches to meeting current ecological challenges.
A journey to rarely seen ecosystems in the midst of a world based on exploitation. The focus is not on dystopian visions of the future, but on a new awareness and new, concrete opportunities that are available to humanity when intertwined life forms and forgotten alliances form the basis for our relationship with nature.
