"A New We" is a documentary about ecological communities and ecovillages in Europe. Enjoy two hours of insight into 10 European eco-communities from 8 European countries, created by Austrian documentary filmmaker Stefan Wolf. Stefan’s aim: to explore a variety of ecovillages in order to present a broad spectrum of lifestyle possibilities to many people.

How are these Communities organized?
What decision-making processes do they use?
How they finance themselves?
What food choices do they make?
How much of the food and energy that they need do they produce?
Is spirituality important?
How do adults and children interact?
Are there schools?

These and other questions are addressed in this unique and important film event. The variety of situations and voices in A New We inspires hope for the future of humanity and all life on the planet. The lives shown here are more motivated by imagination, vision, respect and cooperation than by economic forces and social expectations. In these 10 communities, the creative solutions to many social, environmental and economic challenges exemplify the nearly infinite capacity for human-, community- and self-development. It’s a film that enlightens, encourages and spreads hope – for a new world and A New We.
