Davos (2020) [720p x265]

Synopsis

What drives our world becomes paradigmatic in Davos: Traditional farming in contrast to the global elite, who operate untied from all places, virtually without touching the ground. Davos is a film about equilibrium and contrast, about capitalism in our fractured world and the impact of the powerful on the many.

Director's Statement

Looking to decipher the fractured world of ours was the driving force to make this film. We‘ve been following the everyday life in Davos for over a year.

The challenges of our society are shown through the lives of the citizens of Davos contrasted by the global elite at the World Economic Forum‘s annual meeting: The value and the price of money, nature, tradition, globalisation, identity, community and self empowerment are at stake.

We wanted to deliver a profound view of the town of Davos and its citizens in contrast to a behind the curtains view of the World Economic Forum‘s annual meeting, glooming over the citys throughout the year.

It‘s a chance to raise awareness to global issues that concern all of us. Davos concerns all of us.

2020 is the 50th anniversary of the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum.
