The project started at Filmuniversity Babelsberg because the worldwide media present often environmental problems in a way that makes us feel gloomy and hopeless. Consequently, people start ignoring facts. However, what about the future we want to live in? Can’t we use the expertise of storytelling in movies to design pictures of a desirable world?
New things are very often created by a combination of things that have never been combined before. With a mix of artistic imagination and fantasy-setting on environmental problems CPOP is a mind opener backed by scientific expertise from the renowned Alfred Wegener Institute Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research.
The scientists willingly cooperate with us in creating a worldwide multi-disciplinary space to solve this complex issue.
