SAVE THE DATE, April 18, 2023: Panel Discussion “Medienproduktion der Zukunft”
Image: NEOSHIN – Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg
Media production is undergoing profound changes that make a move towards innovative and technologically savvy production structures inevitable.
With topics such as mixed reality studios, virtual production with digitally prepared film locations, artificial intelligence as well as expanded LED technology, new possibilities are being created for film and media productions – especially in the area of moving image media. All sectors benefit from this, such as cinema, documentary and animated film, journalistic formats and live reporting. But new opportunities are also opening up for the visual effects (VFX) industry and, not least, for advertising film, which the region must take advantage of if it is not to lose out nationally and internationally in the field of media production.
What:Standortdialog „Medienproduktion der Zukunft“ (the panel discussion will be held in German) When: Tuesday April 18, April 2023 / 10:00-17:00 CET Where: Garage 229 / Haußmannstr. 229 / 70188 Stuttgart About: Focus on film and media production Technical Infrastructure / Shortage of skilled workers / Strengthening the production landscape and film and media funding / Technical research and development An event by: Film Commission Region Stuttgart / WRS Stuttgart Region Economic Development Corporation
The Center for Media Competence and the Chair of Audiovisual Media, Film and Television at the Institute of Media Studies at the University of Tübingen have been commissioned by the WRS Stuttgart Region Economic Development Corporation to produce acurrent qualitative study on the media production of the future in the moving image sector, which provides recommendations for action for the Stuttgart Region as a business location.
