DIGITAL PRODUCTION CHALLENGE 2014 in BERLIN - Open for Applications!
DIGITAL PRODUCTION CHALLENGE enters its sixth year. The European workshop on digital production workflows, especially designed for 35 producers, line producers, production managers and post production supervisors, will take place in Berlin from 13 to 15 November 2014.
It will be run in English by an experienced pool of professionals including:
- the German producer Martin Hagemann (zero fiction; “The Turin Horse” by Béla Tarr, “Fay Grimm” by Hal Hartley, “Moloch” & “Father and Son” by Aleksandr Sokurov),
- the French DoP Philippe Ros, AFC (“Oceans” by Jacques Perrin & Jacques Cluzaud, “Home” by Yann Arthus-Bertrand),
- the German DIT Florian Rettich (“Pina” by Wim Wenders, “Die Wermessung der Welt” by Detlev Buck, “Highlander – The Source” by Brett Leonard)
- the post-production experts Ruedi Schick (Founder & CEO of Swiss Effects, Switzerland) and Tommaso Vergallo (French consultant with a 20 year experience at Swiss Effects, Duboi, Quinta and Digimage; “Amelie” by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, “Asterix and Obelix, Mission Cleopatra by Alain Chabat”, “René” by Alain Cavalier, “Amour” by Michael Haneke, “Ten” by Abbas Kiarostami“, ”On the Road” by Walter Salles).
Although digital technology is now part of everyday life, a plethora of workflows on one hand and a lack of lasting standards/supports on the other make it more complicated for producers to fulfill the demands of their partners (co-producers and distributors).
DPC enables professionals to get a better grasp of this complex environment, of the tasks division between the partners involved - from the director to the post-production provider - and to acquire that shared language, thus granting them full access to the decision chain and guiding them to best position their productions within the digital workflow.
The workshop is divided into four parts:
- Comparison of workflows and case-study presentations of different budget ranges (special focus on low budget films and a "standard" budget around 2mio€) by experienced producers and their post-production providers;
- Discussions on selected participants' projects (feature or documentary films);
- Panel discussions on key topics such as teamwork, digital distribution and archiving;
- Focus subjects on selected technical aspects.
DIGITAL PRODUCTION CHALLENGE is proposed by FOCAL in co-operation with Swiss Effects and with support of the MEDIA Programme of the European Union.
