REQUIEM IN WHITE

With this documentary, Harry Putz has staged a haunting cinematic homage to the dying of the glaciers in the Alps. Through in-depth interviews, he weaves science and emotion into an oppressive documentary. Shot at 14 glaciers in Austria, Germany, Italy and Switzerland, the film poses an unavoidable question at the end: "How do we want to say goodbye to our glaciers?"

The glaciers in the Eastern Alps are dying - irreversibly, scientists agree. But while the "eternal ice" is disappearing, tourism is booming. In summer, visitors crowd into glacier lifts to touch the last remnants. Skiing operations are running at full speed and interventions in nature are taking on ever more drastic forms: Slope stabilization, glacier covers, snow depots, artificial snow systems, massive terrain planning - a race against time.
