Globally Local

 

 

In cooperation with

Together with “buten un binnen”, the regional magazine of Radio Bremen, Filmfest Bremen is awarding a special prize for the best documentary film with a regional focus for the first time this year.

 

In the Globally Local category, the focus is on special local features around the world. It is about documentaries that are very close to the regions and their people and thus captivate the audience.

 

The style, narrative form and length are completely up to the filmmakers, as long as the specific uniqueness of the highlighted region is emphasized.

 

 

 

“With buten un binne we try to bring the special fascination of regional stories closer to the people every day. We are all the more pleased that this perspective now has its own stage at the film festival.“

Editorial director buten un binnen TV and jury member

Lars Rosentreter

 

 

In fact, his nickname could be Loki, a brief overview of his positions: local newspaper, local radio, local television. But friends call him Rosi. He was already a global traveler in seventh grade, filming Playmobil figures on an adventure safari at the garden pond at home with his father’s Super 8 camera. Journalism came along a little later. A native of Bremen who wants to remain a local cross-border commuter: he loves living on the wrong side of the Weser and is passionate about working on the right side as head of the editorial team at buten un binnen.
