PUBLIC LECTURE - HYBRID EVENT

As the world shifts toward sustainable energy, filmmakers hold a unique power to bridge the gap between technical developments and local communities.

The Melbourne Energy Institute, in collaboration with the FEIT Film Festival, welcomes Swiss director Claudio von Planta (known for his work with Ewan McGregor on the Long Way Round series), to discuss these complexities.

A seasoned BBC filmmaker, Claudio von Planta is looking to bring clean-tech adventures to the attention of the public. He regularly partners with global visionaries to showcase the world-changing potential of electric energy and sustainable e-mobility.

Mr. Von Planta will give a presentation on highlights from his 35-year career, filming energy projects and visionaries in over 100 countries. Using photos and film clips, he will share first-hand experiences from these regions and introduce his latest filmmaking venture.

A central part of the event is an interactive Q&A audience. The discussion will focus directly on the core question of the evening: how can filmmaking be used to engage communities and navigate the challenges of driving the energy transition.
