In the organizer's words:
Thank you very much for this wonderful Weitsicht Special on 7.3.25 with Willi Weitzel and Markus Lanz - we wish everyone a wonderful spring and summer and look forward to welcoming you again in the fall.
The Weitsicht-Festival 2025 will then be opened on 31.10.2025 by a very special guest: Bestselling author PETER WOHLLEBEN will be presenting THE SECRET LIFE OF THE TREES live on stage for the first time: Waldsicht mit Weitsicht! Germany's most famous forester up close and personal.
The Saturday matinée is also dedicated to THE SOUL OF THE FOREST. Stefan Erdmann's magical film journey through Germany's forests focuses on the beauty of nature. A lyrical masterpiece with specially composed film music and grandiose imagery - great cinema awaits us!
The legendary ADVENTURE RIDERS Günter Wamser and Sonja Endlweber cross the USA on the legendary long-distance hiking trails "Pacific Crest Trail" and "Arizona Trail" - through breathtaking mountains, endless forests and barren deserts. With humor and self-irony, they talk about their intense life in the saddle, in which everything is reduced to the essentials: their dreams!
Then it's ALL ABOARD! The rousing and award-winning story about a motley crew that travels 10,000 km across the rivers and seas of Europe - and does so CO2-neutrally! Paul, Hansen and Anna have electrically converted a small boat and equipped it with solar wings. Breakdowns, storms, depression and family happiness - it's all on board!
We are staying in Europe. When you think of wilderness, images of natural landscapes come to mind. Species-rich forests, raging rivers, mighty glaciers. But does truly untouched nature still exist in our home regions? A young Freiburg film team sets off to discover the last natural treasures of our continent. WILD EUROPE. Rating: Absolutely worth seeing!
The Sunday matinée will be exotic: abseiling down active volcanoes in Vanuatu, discovering new animal species in the dense jungle of Papua New Guinea and photographing the traditional mummification of her adoptive father - scenes from the everyday life of film and photo journalist Ulla Lohmann (National Geographic, GEO, BBC), who will present her ADVENTURE SOUTH SEA to us in person.
The "wild heart of South America" is full of contrasts and adventure. From the majestic mountains to the untouched rainforests, the Andes offer an incredible variety of landscapes and cultures. Weitsicht audience favorites Anita Burgholzer and Andreas Hübl take us on a 20,000 km road trip by pedal and we follow the CALL OF THE ANDES.
Two friends discover IRAN. One knows the country from childhood, the other only from the news: Colorful fairy tale from 1001 nights or dark rogue state? Open-minded high culture or introverted religious fundamentalism? Two friends, two cultures, a visually stunning and illuminating answer by Thorge Berger & Mehran Kadhem-Awal.
Enriched by stories from afar, this is the outstanding finale of Weitsicht 2025. For years, former philosophy professor and photojournalist Klaus Petrus has dedicated himself to the topic of migration. His award-winning reportage SPUREN DER FLUCHT is THE highlight of the festival and will be enriched with an "epic" epilogue by multiple Spiegel bestselling author and professor of social psychology HARALD WELZER.
We look forward to a lot of foresight 2025 with you - see you soon!
Jens Steingässer and the entire Weitsicht team.
