WELCOME

WELCOME ON THE PAGES OF ÖKOFILM!

On this website you can find films - documentaries - about sustainability. Luckily more and more people realize that it´s time to make changes if we want to sustain this planet as a beautiful place to live.
The films shown on this website should show some positive ideas about what we can do. People who find livable alternatives in their daily lives. Some of the issues are ecological building, healthy and natural agriculture, living communities etc.

Please note: all films on this website are in PAL format. If you live in a country with the NTSC format (Canada, USA, Japan, many South-American countries), you will only be able to play the DVD´s on a computer or a PAL-compatible DVD-player. For some of our films there are distributors in the US:

David Holmgren about Sepp Holzer
David Holmgren is the co-originator of the permaculture concept with Bill Mollison. Through the spread of permaculture around the world, his environmental principles have exerted a global influence.

Holmgren visitd Sepp Holzer´s place and was impressed. Listen to our interview with David about the "agro-rebel" Sepp Holzer a few days after his visit to Sepp´s farm. He also gives some short thoughts about natural farming philosopher Masanobu Fukuoka.
