Organiser was the Förderverein für Öffentlichkeitsarbeit im Natur- und Umweltschutz e. V . (FÖN) from Potsdam, a registered association supporting public relations work in nature conservation and environmental protection. 31 films of most different genres had been nominated for the competition which accompanied the festival. FÖN presented the films at 38 different locations all over Brandenburg. So, a wide public could be approached.

Actively involved visitors
In contrast to other environmental film festivals, this project offers new and more possibilities to actively involve the public. Discussion rounds with film-makers, experts and the visitors follow the screenings and the public can ballot the effectiveness of the films in line with preassigned criteria. The Ökofilmtour 2007 ended with an award ceremony on Earth Day, 22nd April. Several Brandenburg places evinced their interest for the »Ökofilmtour 2008«.
