Who’s behind greenmotions?

Our missions

We use film as a catalyst – We believe that film and culture are powerful drivers of dialogue. By curating and screening eco‑focused films that ignite conversation and enriching them with panels, workshops and Q&A sessions, we deepen understanding of environmental issues, sustainability and just transition.

We activate change makers – We turn screenings into a call‑to‑action hub, sharing concrete ideas, resources and pathways so participants can make a real impact locally and globally, while weaving environmental protection together with social justice.

We amplify the regional community and civic network – We turn the festival into a networking platform for NGOs, cultural groups, filmmakers and citizens in Freiburg and beyond, and we expand our reach with year‑round screenings in partnership with diverse local partners.

Together, we transform audiovisual storytelling into a powerful tool for education, community building and collective action toward a fair, resilient future.

Our values

Three pillars guide how we work internally and partner with the wider world.

• Sustainability – We protect the planet and advance social justice while designing workloads that keep our team healthy and resources balanced.
• Connection – We stay linked to nature, to each other, and to diverse perspectives, turning collaboration into a vibrant community that fuels fresh ideas.
• Respect – We value every contribution, big or small, honor every voice, set realistic expectations, and continuously refine our processes so they serve people—not the other way around.

These three pillars are the values we continually strive to embody—an invitation for everyone to adopt and grow with them.
