Green Me Global Festival for Sustainability Berlin Germany (0)

Festival start: 29 January 2018      Festival end: 04 February 2018

The Green Me GmbH is a Berlin based company and the organizer of the annual environmental film festival called the Green Me Global Festival for Sustainability. This festival was initiated in 2008 by Nicolai Niemann, and has over the years transformed from a lounge to a full blown film festival with three major sections: Film – the festival offers a platform for the green films, green publicity and green economy. Movies with environmentally related topics from all over the world are evaluated and screened; Congress – on this platform, professional minds engage in panel discussions on diverse environmental topics; Marketplace– where companies and NGOs represent themselves and exhibit their products and services; Gala Night- where awards are given out to the award winning films. Finalising each festival is the award night, during which the best films from different categories receive awards. Since 2016, the Green Me Global Festival has been hosted in four continents and five cities, including Berlin, Germany; Lagos, Nigeria; Tehran, Iran; Cannes, France; Los Angeles, USA.

Guidelines for the Green Me Film Festival 2018

Preliminary note
Since 2008, the Green Me Film Festival has offered a platform for green films, green publicity and green economy, in the run-up to the Berlin International Film Festival. Movies with environment-related topics from all over the world are evaluated and screened at the festival. Each year, the festival honors filmmakers with the Green Me Award, which comes with a prize money, in different categories. Every year the festival focuses on three main themes: In 2015 filmmakers were awarded prize money in the categories ''soil'', ''soul'', ''food''. In 2016, the festival awarded filmmakers in five different countries in the categories “Ocean”, “Life” and “Water”. This year 2017, the festival has awarded filmmakers in the categories “Climate”, “Joy” and “Air”.

The festival will honor filmmakers in the categories “Fire”, “Action” and “Passion” in the 2018 Green Me Festival in Berlin, Germany.
