On Friday, March 1, 2024, at 6 p.m., the film series "Film & Talk #2030" of the Education for Sustainable Development (SBNE) of the Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf district will present the documentary "Generation Wealth" by Lauren Greenfield in the Kino Delphi Lux. The film portrays the pursuit of materialism and wealth in today's society. The American photographer and filmmaker Lauren Greenfield has dealt with money, wealth and life in abundance for 25 years. The documentary asks whether money makes really happy and illuminates the beginnings of Greenfield's work as well as the fates of people, whose desire for prosperity determines their lives. The public discussion will take place with the economist and author Stefan Mekiffer, who published the book "Why actually enough money for everyone" in 2016. The event is carried out in cooperation with the Delphi Lux and the Berlin State Center for Political Education.
The documentary “Generation WEALTH” by Lauren Greenfield takes a critical look at the obsession with wealth and materialism in modern society. Greenfield, who deals intensively with the American dream, portrays people whose striving is determined by limitless materialism. The film deals with questions about money, addiction to validity and craze and questions whether more wealth automatically means more happiness. The documentary was premiered for the first time at the Sundance Filmfest 2018 and also ran at the Berlinale 2018 in the Panorama Documents section.
The subsequent public discussion with the economist and author Stefan Mekiffer will offer further insights into the topic. Mekiffer, who published the book "Why actually enough money for everyone" in 2016, will bring in interesting perspectives on questions of prosperity and the distribution of resources. The moderation of the conversation is taken over by Lidia Perico, head of SBNE.
