Explorer Konferenz enters the 2nd round

28.04.2021 | Hybrid event in Hamburg

Following the successful kick-off in 2019 and a break in 2020 due to the coronavirus, the Producers' Association, Filmförderung Hamburg Schleswig-Holstein and FILMFEST HAMBURG are preparing the second Explorer Konferenz as a hybrid event. On 8 October 2021, everything will revolve around the production of the future in short, dynamic formats. The Explorer Impuls next Monday, for which you can still register, offers a little foretaste.

The Explorer Konferenz, which is embedded in FILMFEST HAMBURG, takes a look at the future of production for cinema, streaming and TV. It is explicitly aimed at Executive Producers, creatives and film policy stakeholders, sheds light on new trends and analyses the challenges and opportunities of the current upheaval in the film industry.

Preparations are currently in full swing for the international conference to take place physically in the Hanseatic city on Friday, 8 October 2021. The programme, which will consist of parallel strands, some of which will be streamed live, and the first speakers will be announced in the coming months. Filmfest Hamburg runs from 30 September to 9 October 2021.

For all those who don't want to wait that long, there will be an online preview next Monday, 3 May 2021, from 11 a.m. to 12 noon: Executive Producer Andreas Schlieter, Directors Pascal Schroeder and DoP Daniel Schua will shed light on the topic of virtual production based on their debut film "The Social Experiment", which is currently being completed. The three guys from Hamburg will reveal how they used virtual production while writing the script, how to build a set from virtual and real elements - and how location scouting works on the moon. Erwin M. Schmidt from the Producers' Association will moderate the event. Free tickets for the event are still available viaexplorer-konferenz.de/impuls book.

Pre-sales are already underway for the Explorer Konferenz in autumn. Early Bird tickets are available until 30 June with a 50 percent discount on the regular ticket price. More atexplorer-konferenz.de/2021
