Alpine Glaciers
Man and Ice
Melting alpine glaciers are the most conspicuous indication of global warming, and in the wake of the climate discussion, the public has become increasingly aware of their fate. Besides the structure and function of the glaciers, the film describes their role in the ecosystem and for the economically active human. In this respect, primarily the role of the glaciers for the water balance of the Alps and neighbouring regions and above all, their effects on summer and skiing tourism as well as the energy generation from water power are of major importance. The dwindling of the glaciers is illustrated with the help of historical comparisons. The Pasterze in Austria – the largest glacier of the eastern Alps – and the Bavarian Zugspitze are given as detailed examples. The film addresses younger pupils in the context of the topic of the Alps as well as older secondary school students in the context of climate issues.

Internet Addiction
The film consists of two parts. The first part is the 15-minute short film “In the Net”. It describes the problem of excessive Internet use in a humorous way, in particular the risk of losing touch with reality when chatting. The second part illustrates with three real persons how Internet addiction can develop and the problems encountered by those who are afflicted. The authentic statements are commented by an experienced therapist. For many pupils, the issues addressed here are related to their everyday lives. What is a “sensible” use of the Internet, where does pathological addiction start? In contrast to addiction to alcohol, nicotine or drugs, the public seems to be largely ignorant of the problem of this addiction, which is not related to any substance abuse. The film provides material for discussion in the classroom (crossdisciplinary) and can be used as a basis for the formulation of prevention strategies.
