The Swiss Cinema Premiere
With Marianne Bänziger, Zachary Muthamia, Cary Fowler, David Battisti, David Lobell, Wangari Maathai, Ola Westengen
By 2050 temperatures worldwide are expected to rise by at least 2 degrees. This will result in a drop in food production by up to 30 per cent in some regions. But global food demand will have doubled. How will we feed the world?
Is the "Doomsday Vault", built in the Norwegian permafrost, and containing seeds from around the world, a practical way of safeguarding the world's biodiversity or a utopian ideal?
In SEED WARRIORS we hear from the scientists behind this ambitious project and travel to Kenya to examine what the Svalbard Global Seed Vault can contribute to the fight against hunger.

La première suisse
Avec Marianne Bänziger, Zachary Muthamia, Cary Fowler, David Battisti, David Lobell, Wangari Maathai, Ola Westengen
D’ici en 2050, les températures auront vraisemblablement augmentés d’au moins 2 degrés à l’échelle planétaire. Ceci occasionnera des dommages considérables dans la production de denrées alimentaires – pouvant atteindre jusqu’à 30 pourcent à certains endroits. Comment arriverons-nous donc à nourrir la population mondiale?
Le «doomsday vault» dans la glace éternelle norvégienne où sont stockés l’ensemble des semences émanant du monde entier est-il la solution adéquate afin de préserver la biodiversité globale ou s’agit-il d’une simple utopie?
Dans Seed Warriors, nous écouterons les scientifiques qui se trouvent derrière ce projet et nous nous rendrons au Kenya afin de nous rendre compte de ce que le trésor de semences mondiales conservé dans l’île de Spitzberg peut réellement avoir comme influence dans la lutte contre la faim.

Thomas Haemmerli is about to celebrate his fortieth birthday when he learns of his mother’s death. A further shock follows when he and his brother Erik discover her apartment, which is filthy and full to bursting with junk. It takes the brothers an entire month to clean out the place. Among the chaos, they find films going back to the 1930s, photos and other memorabilia. Gradually they piece together a strange and unique family saga, in which baronesses and counts, Latin Lovers and Nazi officers play a role, and even the young Kofi Annan makes an appearance. A fast-paced and surprisingly funny story about an unusual legacy.

Can a single building impact the career of an architect, the image of a global company and even the skyline of a big city?
Just a month and a day after the disastrous attack on the World Trade Center in New York, the first steel beam of a new tower is erected in London. One question is on everybody's mind: is it the right decision to build a new iconic tower in the midst of London's financial district, on a site that has already been bombed before?
The 40-storey steel and glass tower sparks further controversy. Norman Foster, one of Britain's most visionary architects, calls his design for the new Swiss Re London headquarters 'radical -- socially, technically, architecturally and spatially'. In fact, its size and shape are so radical that it is almost immediately nicknamed "the erotic gherkin".
Will the Gherkin become the landmark they all dream of?
