A moving film evening about orangutans, rainforest, and responsibility
The Eco Film Talk “Orangutans - The Unknown Anthropoids” brings together nature film, audience discussion, and insightful environmental education at the Film Museum Potsdam. On September 16, 2026, visitors can expect an evening that impresses with strong visuals, professional depth, and a clear message: The protection of rainforests is not a marginal note, but a question of the future.
Fascinating images from the heart of Borneo
The 89-minute documentary immerses viewers in the world of orangutans. Aerial views, calm observations, and precise nature shots make the audience experience particularly intense. Central to the film are the close bond between Sati and her daughter Huyan, the remarkable intelligence of the animals, and their use of tools and spatial depth. The event experience combines nature film with real knowledge gain.
Audience discussion with expert insights
After the screening, the hall will not be quiet. The subsequent audience discussion with Jens Westphalen and other guests creates space for questions, context, and exchange. The evening will be moderated by Katrin Springer, head of the Eco Film Tour. This is where the strength of this format shows: film mediation meets expertise, organization, and a lively engagement with the audience.
A strong signal for species protection and biodiversity
The film was awarded Best Children’s and Youth Film in 2026. Content-wise, it sends a clear message against the destruction of habitats and highlights how closely palm oil, rainforest loss, and biodiversity are interconnected. Those interested in nature, environmental films, biodiversity, and sustainable development will find a compact, powerful, and well-curated event experience here.
A location with cultural atmosphere
The Film Museum Potsdam at Breite Straße 1a provides the perfect setting. As a traditional cultural venue in the historical center of Potsdam, it combines cinema, exhibitions, and encounters. Its location near Alter Markt and the state parliament adds to the special atmosphere between city history and contemporary culture.
Conclusion: This Eco Film Talk promises an evening full of impressive nature images, current environmental issues, and lively discussions. Anyone who wants to not only watch the documentary but also engage with it should experience this event live at the Film Museum Potsdam.
