1. The town of Bremerhaven.
2. The Swiss Central Alps where glaciers are melting at record pace.
3. The Italian Island of Sardegna.
4. A small nomad village in the Sahel Zone / Edge of the Sahara in Niger, a place where people who remember a time when the land was green and giraffes and lions roamed the plains.
5. Ikenge, a village in the world’s first rainforest in Cameroon.
6. Western Samoa, a tropical island in the South Pacific which due to climate change may not exist in a few years.
7. St. Lawrence Island, Alaska. One of the last places in the modern world where people still rely on subsistence hunting.
8. Hallig Langeness, a tidal island in The North Sea that gets completely covered with water about once every two weeks (people live on man-made hills above the flood line.)

The project was shot in eight locations over the course of two years. The guiding principal we worked with when designing the films (and to some extent the museum exhibit itself) was borrowed from what I think is one of the core principals behind quality documentary filmmaking—connecting viewers to stories and people rather than to issues. The 171 films in this part of the museum range from intimate documentary portraits, to multi-screen impressionistic pieces to large scale video walls/ceilings. The films are unique in that they deal almost exclusively with the people living along this line, and not at all with scientific-based climate issues. Our hope was that visitors to the museum would start their tour by making an intimate connection to the characters in the films. This paid off — when later on in their tour, these visitors learn about the climate issues relevant to each of the areas visited, they report that they care about these issues in a deeper manner, because of the connection they have forged with some of the people living in the regions involved.

The Kilmahaus exhibit and films have been awarded numerous prizes since the museum opened in 2009 including the prestigious CleanTech Media Award, and the  United Nations World Decade Project for Sustainability.  The Klimahaus is now considered one of the most successful museums in the Europe, possibly in the world. Estimated visitors: 1 to 1.2 million per year; 10 to 15 million over the life of the exhibit.
