The Greenmotions Filmfestival team is pleased to announce that Mr. Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann will be the patron of this year’s festival.

His commitment to the environment and several contributions to the professional and social sustainability debate make Winfried Kretschmann a distinguished personality that lends our festival an appeal beyond Freiburg and reflects the leitmotif of the event: Our solution-oriented film screenings inspire the public to think sustainably and mobilize positive change contributing to the protection of the earth.

In the following quote Winfried Kretschmann expresses his appreciation for the fundamental ideas of the festival: ” The film selection at this year’s fourth international Greenmotions Filmfestival in Freiburg aims to inspire its audience to take ecofriendly and sustainable action. In view of climate change and its global impact, the core of the festival highlights the focus of the 21st century. I gladly overtook the patronage. ”
