this human world: REQUIEM IN WEISS – Das würdelose Sterben unserer Gletscher
60 min., OmeU
The glaciers of the Eastern Alps are dying—irreversibly, as scientists agree. While the “eternal ice” melts and permafrost thaws, tourism continues to boom. Visitors crowd into glacier cable cars to touch the vanishing ice one last time. Meanwhile, drastic interventions reshape the landscape: slope reinforcements, snow depots, artificial snow systems, and massive terrain modifications—a race against time to keep glacier skiing alive. Harry Putz creates a haunting cinematic homage to the dying glaciers of the Alps. Through in-depth interviews, he weaves science and emotion into a powerful documentary, filmed across 14 glaciers in Austria, Germany, Italy, and Switzerland. In the end, one unavoidable question remains: How do we say goodbye to our glaciers?
