Photovoltaics
Using Solar Energy
Photovoltaics is the direct conversion of light energy into electrical energy. This principle is increasingly being used as a regenerative energy source - for this purpose, large-scale solar collectors are being installed on house roofs and on open spaces. The film uses clear graphics and impressive footage to explain how electricity is generated primarily from sunlight. The film focuses on the energy village of Wildpoldsried in the Oberallgäu region, which generates many times the energy it consumes thanks to renewable energies.

Computer Games
This film covers the topic of computer games in a variety of ways and from many different angles. Apart from the fascina- tion of computer games for users, the historical development as well as the production of computer games are described. The established genres are introduced, the guidelines of the German BPjM are explained. In light of recent public discussions, a neutral overview of the pros and cons of playing computer games is given, and different kinds of player behaviour are outlined. In this film, the pupils will recognise many aspects of their favourite pastime that encourage an independent, constructive use of this medium and reinforce their media competency. The film and teaching material are very closely related to the real-life situation.
Product Piracy
Counterfeiting takes place in almost all economic sectors – textiles, watches, car parts, machine parts, tools, accessories, software and medicines. Some counterfeits are easy to recognise, others are so well-executed that even experts have difficulty distinguishing between original and imitation. This DVD covers the development of a product from idea to manufacture. Once a product has become a trademark, product pirates appear on the scene.
