Director Volker Schlöndorff (82) sees mankind facing major challenges in the face of climate change, but remains confident.
“The mentality of humanity has to be changed.
And it's nice that there is a spirit of optimism, even among the young, ”said Schlöndorff of the German Press Agency in Potsdam.
Potsdam / Glasgow - The boys are always said to be apolitical.
“You may be apolitical in an ideological sense, thank God.
But they are also very committed, ”said Schlöndorff.
In his own words, he assessed the result of the Bundestag election as positive, “especially with a view to possible measures against climate change”.
For his new film "Waldmacher" he accompanied the agricultural expert Tony Rinaudo.
The Australian had been awarded an Alternative Nobel Prize for his idea of how to grow trees again from roots.
On the sidelines of the climate summit (October 31 to November 12), an online conversation is now planned between the two of them, at the Global Landscapes Forum.
The documentary is slated to hit theaters in 2022.
