Starting office Babelsberg: Two new projects for the FILM future!
The start office Babelsberg goes into the fifth year with two new cinematic projects and thus relies on fresh ideas and talents from the film scene. The initiative, which was launched in 2019 by the Film University Babelsberg Konrad Wolf and Studio Babelsberg, offers two teams from Alumni the opportunity to implement their creative concepts. Each team receives a coworking space in the Marlene-Dietrich-Halle as well as a financial budget of 19,000 euros and access to experienced mentors who can offer support. FilmUniversität reports that the teams have related to their new rooms today.
The first team consists of the Filmuni graduates Gitte Hellwig and Henrike Rothe and Lisa Neubauer. You work on an animated series entitled "Urban Nature (AT)". In this series, the focus is on recapturing the city by wild animals. The main character is a young fox that navigates between the conflicts of humans and animals. The aim is to promote the development of the series, including TV broadcast and online evaluation, supplemented by a connection to science communication. The production of a teaser and cooperation with the University of Potsdam are planned for the financing of the first season.
A second team with new cinematic ambitions
The second team consists of the founders of the production company Bandfilm, Laura Klippel and Britta Strampe. You work on your producer debut with the feature film "Subtext (AT)". The concept of the film deals with a perfect world in which outsiders with film errors challenge reality and illuminate topics such as discrimination and resistance. The team is supported by director Sophie Linnenbaum and screenwriter Michael Fetter Nathansky. A cooperation with the Creative Technologies course for the implementation of visual effects (VFX) is also being planned.
As part of the Babelsberg starting office, it is not only the work on new works, but it is also pointed out to sustainable promotion of innovative project ideas in media production. The initiative is supported by the Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg GmbH and the Brandenburg Förderbank ILB. Since 2015, when the program was offered for the first time, interest has increased significantly among the alumni of the film university. In fact, two teams have already been promoted several times to do justice to the big rush for the initiative Babelsberg .
film funding in Germany
The support from the starting office is part of a larger framework for film funding in Germany, which is funded by the federal government with around 44 million euros annually. This funding pursues the goal of securing the structure of the German film industry and maintaining and developing the quality and diversity of German filmmaking. bafa offers regulatory framework and promotes community productions to promote the international exchange of films.
summarized that the start office Babelsberg not only creates a space for creativity, but also enriches the cinematic landscape in Germany and supports the next generation of filmmakers.
