"What's on your mind?" With this question, along with the questions from the people in this clip, our Open Minds conversations begin. Visit the Open Minds platform that has been launched on the occasion of Swiss Re's 150th anniversary. The big questions about tomorrow concern us all - whether they are about gaining food security, longer and healthier lives, advancing sustainable energy solutions or managing climate and natural disaster risks. All our thoughts and ideas matter because only together will we find the answers and the opportunities.
With the "What's on your mind?" trailer we focus on what matters during the journey from today to tomorrow. As we move through our anniversary year, the trailer will grow into a longer film to capture a wealth of conversations.
Conversations about what?
Huge challenges confront the world ahead – including ensuring that we have sustainable energy, that we can fund an ageing population, that we have enough food, that we can address managing climate change and the risk of natural disasters. These things affect everyone. Open conversations with people all over the world will help find the answers.
Through the film, we'll capture the spirit of these conversations, with a richness of thought, diversity of ideas and depth of opinions. The final documentary will be a time capsule, recording a global dialogue for generations to come.
We're thrilled to be working with Markenfilm on this project. With director Viviane Blumenschein at the helm, it's already gained huge momentum with more than eighty interviews in Zurich, New York, Cape Town and Hong Kong.
Viviane has a gift of capturing special moments – talking to experts, futurists, visionaries… But she's also an expert at catching people on the fly – volunteers helping with the post-Sandy clean-up, an elderly tourist on a snowy peak, organic farmers and a friendly butcher in New York. A wealth of diverse views about what matters in future.
