Cinema:

THE 4th REVOLUTION – Energy Autonomy

In March 2010, the fechnerMEDIA team released the film THE 4th REVOLUTION – Energy Autonomy in German cinemas, which became the most-watched documentary film of the year with over 130,000 viewers. This success laid the foundation for the further work of the filmmakers at fechnerMEDIA. In order to strengthen its own independence in distribution, fechnerMEDIA founded Change: Film Distribution in 2015, which has since brought the company’s powerful stories and themes to the world in an even more targeted way.

POWER TO CHANGE – The Energy Rebellion

POWER TO CHANGE – The Energy Rebellion, the successor to THE 4th REVOLUTION, was released in March 2016. The attention for the film was enormous: by the end of November 2016, 292 groups had used the film for their local campaigns. More than 2,000 cinema screenings in around 350 cities led to broad coverage in over 150 media outlets, including newspapers, radio, the internet and television.

THE FARMER AND I

With THE FARMER AND I, fechnerMEDIA produced the debut film by director Irja von Bernstorff (née Martens), who was already involved as executive producer on THE 4th REVOLUTION. The film screened at numerous festivals, won prestigious awards and was nominated for the Max Ophüls Prize 2016.

CLIMATE WARRIORS

In the cinema production CLIMATE WARRIORS, the fechnerMEDIA team brought together thought leaders, activists and politicians on both sides of the Atlantic who are committed to the energy transition and a better future.

THE STORY OF A NEW WORLD

The fechnerMEDIA crew’s latest cinema film and impact project is entitled THE STORY OF A NEW WORLD. This deeply moving story of a modern patchwork family facing the personal and global challenges of today combines the power of documentary with the magic of fictional storytelling. The main characters rebel against the world’s seemingly insurmountable problems and point the way to a better future with creative solutions. It’s about:

• Regenerative agriculture & healthy nutrition 
• Circular economy
• Sustainable mobility
• Leadership & education
• Sustainable building & urban development
• Renewable energies & energy efficiency – Sustainable finance
• Consciousness change & indigenous knowledge – Climate change & innovation
• Climate Laws
• Women Empowerment

The film shows that everyone can be part of the solution and inspires people to take the first steps. The goal is for the film and associated events to reach and inspire at least 50 million people worldwide.
