🎬 How Futures Studies and Filmmaking Can Rewrite Our Future! 🌍 At Ellery Studio , we focus on one central question in futures studies: What kind of future do we want to create? This week, I had the opportunity to discuss Optimistic Futures at the Explorer Konferenz alongside Naomi Bechert, a screenwriter and psychologist. The link between futures studies and filmmaking couldn’t be more evident. Our conversation, expertly moderated by Sandra Julia Reils, explored how hopeful visions for the future can influence the actions we take today. Films have the power to make complex societal challenges emotionally tangible – and this is where both worlds meet. Futures studies opens the space for possible futures, while filmmaking brings these futures to life through storytelling and imagery. By exploring alternative, often radically positive scenarios, we not only nurture imagination but also inspire the courage to take action. During our dialogue, Naomi and I explored how films allow us to envision not only dystopian futures but also hopeful ones. These optimistic visions empower people to take steps today toward shaping a better tomorrow. At Ellery Studio, we use methods like scenario planning and speculative design to visualize futures that are rooted in diversity and sustainability – much like filmmakers use storytelling to inspire audiences. Whether through film or research, the goal is the same: to shape futures that inspire and motivate action. Let’s explore how we can harness the power of storytelling to drive positive change in the world. 🌱🎥 What kind of future do you want to see in films? ✨💬 Photos: Theresa Maria Forthaus Partners: POISON, FILMFEST HAMBURG, and MOIN Filmförderung Hamburg Schleswig-Holstein
