Announcing ‘David Attenborough: Ocean’ - coming 2025! Sir David Attenborough delivers this story of hope, and his most powerful message yet - showcasing the planet’s most spectacular undersea habitats, uncovering how we’re living in the greatest age of ocean discovery, and showing beyond doubt that our oceans are the most important place on Earth. Produced by Silverback, in association with All3Media International, our National Geographic documentary special will reveal the crisis facing the world’s oceans, and how we can, and must, restore these vast, interconnected waters. It's clear that we can only stabilise the climate by restoring the ocean...by telling this vital story, and amplifying the solutions at hand, we can turn the tide 🙏 #StorytellingForChange #SilverbackFilms #StudioSilverback #SirDavidAttenborough #Oceans #OceanDecade #UNOceanDecade #ClimateChange #NatGeo #All3MediaInternational

Last year we founded Open Planet, to enable everyone, everywhere, to tell stories of our world’s major environmental challenges and solutions 🌍 Since then, the world-class footage library has grown and it now features over 10,000 clips of our changing planet - but most importantly it’s already helped educators, scientists, filmmakers, and change-makers to have an immense impact. From our work together on storytelling initiatives that have reached hundreds of millions in India and Africa with new stories of optimism, to providing high-quality visuals for decision-makers at major events like COP28, UNGA, and New York Climate Week. As we continue our partnership with Open Planet, we’re excited to see how this new chapter of storytelling will drive change in this crucial decade for action on the planetary crisis… Discover the world-class footage library at: www.openplanet.org 🎥 #StudioSilverback #SilverbackFilms #OpenPlanet #StoriesForChange

Studio Silverback are at the #VillarsSymposium in Switzerland this week - speaking alongside global experts, educators, and entrepreneurs, to #VillarsFellows and young people from over 42 countries who are pushing towards a net zero, nature positive future.     We’re talking about the transformative power of nature films to shift public views toward protecting our planet and drive action. Showcasing how visual storytelling - from TV documentaries to short-form social media content - is one of the most powerful tools we have in tackling the communications challenge around the climate and biodiversity crisis.     We know that everyone, everywhere, from all generations, needs to feel empowered and able to create these stories, which is why we launched Open Planet - a unique free-footage library of our changing planet which can help young storytellers share what matters to them as never before.   The Villars Institute #StudioSilverback #VillarsSummit #NetZero #NaturePositiveFuture #StorytellingForImpact #StoriesforChange #OpenPlanet Colin butfield

Studio Silverback have created a short film for PIK - Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research outlining how our planet’s growing instability threatens our freedom and our security. It presents a vision of a better future still within our grasp, through the words of the next generation - a thoughtful group of Berlin schoolchildren. The film premiered at a special event held at the Stiftung Planetarium Berlin sparking a discussion on climate justice, scientific solutions and the path ahead - with a panel including Earth system scientist, Johan Rockström, and the film’s narrator, Dr. med. Eckart von Hirschhausen. Watch 'Unsere Erde, Unsere Freiheit’ (Our Earth, Our Freedom): https://lnkd.in/emEZe8yD #StudioSilverback #StorytellingForImpact #PIK #GermanYearofScience
