The Swiss documentary “Inestimable Forests”, an impressive work by Orane Burri, is now celebrating its arrival in German-speaking cinemas. The film, which has already premiered in French-speaking Switzerland under the title “Inestimables Forêts”, sheds light on the highly topical issue of sustainable forestry, a topic that has been close to the hearts of the Swiss for centuries.
The film takes a critical look at the sustainable management of Swiss forests, which has been practiced for 150 years. Orane Burri's work questions the sustainability of these practices and examines their current relevance in a changing world. The film, which is shown in its original French version with German subtitles, not only offers a deep insight into national challenges, but also broadens the view to the global level.
Director Burri, a 43-year-old passionate filmmaker, is known for her concise style and ability to convey complicated topics with ease. In “Invaluable Forests”, she impressively exposes the challenges facing modern forestry methods while calling for a rethinking of the legacy that forest management in Switzerland has shaped for generations.
The 75-minute documentary is not only intended as a visual experience, but also as a call to action for viewers who want to engage with today's challenges of forest use. The first previews begin on March 30 and give the audience the opportunity to engage with the film's complex messages at an early stage.
In addition to a thorough analysis of Swiss practices, Burri dares to step beyond national borders and draws attention to the global impact of consumption on forests worldwide. The film draws parallels to international issues and illustrates how closely the relationship between local forestry and global consumer behavior is intertwined. Through striking images and in-depth interviews with experts from around the world, “Invaluable Forests” encourages reflection and opens up discussions about our responsibility as global citizens.
Switzerland's 150-year tradition of sustainable forestry is often seen as a model for other countries. But Burri questions the extent to which this tradition actually lives up to its exemplary function. The film addresses the efficiency of these practices and whether they can withstand current and future ecological challenges. Orane Burri not only wants to address the existing forestry community, but also a broader audience that is open to critical questioning and genuine environmental protection.
The premiere of “Invaluable Forests” in German-speaking Switzerland represents a significant milestone, as it has the potential to spark meaningful discussions about the future of forestry not only nationally, but globally. In a world that increasingly relies on sustainable practices, this film comes at the right time to stimulate discussion about natural resources, their use and their conservation.
