Since 2022, we have placed a special focus on sustainability within our festival. From all submissions in the competitions Humor, Innovation, Local films and the German premieres, the festival selects those films that are dedicated to the topic of sustainability – whether in a documentary or fictional manner and regardless of form and length. During selection, particular attention was paid to the ecological aspects of sustainability, but sustainable living and working models are also taken into consideration.
In our world, it is becoming increasingly important to address the issues of climate change, water preservation, sustainable agriculture, species protection and the work environment if we want to live well with each other in the future. This year’s contributions approach these topics on very different ways: Some are fictional, others documentary; some satirical or bizarre, animated or experimental. In this way, the sustainable significance of our future is brought to our attention again and again. This special prize is intended to cover a spectrum within our society and raise our awareness of a future worth living.
The BAB Sustainability Award will be presented on Sunday, 23 March from 11:00 am at Theater Bremen / Kleines Haus.
