Tuesday, 3 November 10:00 Keynote Talk: Dieter Kosslick Dieter Kosslick will deliver this year’s keynote talk. During his tenure as director of the Berlin IFF, Kosslick advocated for a greener festival production and for sustainability in general. He introduced the now famous green carpet – made from 1.6 tons of ocean trash – and created the Culinary Cinema programme, which is considered a voice for sustainability. In a pre-recorded conversation with Florian Weghorn (programme manager, Berlinale Talents), Kosslick will talk about his views on sustainability, opening this year’s digital edition of our Industry Lab.

Moderator Florian Weghorn (GER) is the programme manager of Berlinale Talents, the annual summit and talent development initiative of the Berlin International Film Festival. He also advises the seven Berlinale Talents offshoots around the world, ranging from Beirut to Tokyo. In addition, Florian has worked for various other international film festivals, film funds, and cultural institutions, and he is a member of the European Film Academy. He is the author and editor of several publications on film and youth culture.

Speaker Dieter Kosslick (GER), journalist and former director of Berlinale, was born 1948 in Pforzheim. He studied at LMU Munich and worked as a journalist and speechwriter. In 1988, he was appointed managing director of the Hamburg Film Fund and then moved on to Filmstiftung NRW in 1992. Dieter Kosslick served as director of the Berlin International Film Festival from 2001 to 2019. During this time, he founded Perspektive Deutsches Kino and the Culinary Cinema. He was vice president of the EFA and remains an active contributor to the film industry as well as to various charities.

Thursday, 5 November 09:00–13:45 Short Pitching / Pitching Training Kurzfilmtage invites Swiss filmmakers to pitch their ideas for a short film (fiction, documentary, or animation) to Swiss producers and thus meet with potential (co) production partners. By invitation only.

11:00–12:00 SWISS FILMS Market Preview In collaboration with Internationale Kurzfilmtage Winterthur, SWISS FILMS presents work-in-progress Swiss short films that are looking to enter the international festival circuit as well as worldwide distribution.

Moderator Andreas Bühlmann (SUI), holds a MA in film studies from the University of Zurich. After working for several years for Swiss film festivals since 2007, he became Head of Industry at Internationale Kurzfilmtage Winterthur in 2013. He continued working as a curator in Winterthur and for other festivals (short and feature films). He joined SWISS FILMS in 2016. Since 2019 he’s film industry consultant and innovation researcher at SWISS FILMS and artistic co-director of Pink Apple Film Festival Zurich.

The Future of Shorts As large-scale events, (film) festivals require a lot of resources, especially if they operate internationally. Environmental sustainability is the need of the hour. What would a greener future for film festivals look like? What do we owe our visitors and partners, and how can we proactively involve them and share the responsibility? Which organizations and festivals are active in this field? What measures have they implemented or at least started to discuss?

14:30–15:00 Presentation: The Future of Shorts I: What about Music Festivals? Music festivals offer encounters and euphoria – but they also cause immense amounts of trash. Bands spend weeks touring by bus, guests travel by plane and demand special catering. Visitors need shatterproof beer cups, and the technical equipment requires a lot of energy. The sponsors distribute merchandise. We cannot go on like this – the cultural industry needs to become more sustainable! Experts talk about sustainability policies, communication strategies without greenwashing, about successes and setbacks, and about their ideas for a climate-friendly future for the Swiss cultural industry as a whole.

Speakers Laura Bösiger, (SUI), formerly Winterthurer Musikfestwochen, has been working in the areas of culture, communication, and sustainability in a variety of projects and functions for 15 years. Among other things, she was the co-director of Salzhaus music club and later of Winterthurer Musikfestwochen, one of Europe’s oldest pop/rock festivals, which is held in Winterthur’s old town and attracts over 50,000 music lovers annually. Moritz Meier (SUI) co-directs One of a Million Festival, where his responsibilities include the coordination of sustainability efforts. The festival has been pursuing a comprehensive sustainability strategy since 2016, analysing its carbon footprint annually and advocating for education and communication on the issue. Moritz is also a project manager for energy and sustainability at an engineering firm.

16:00–17:00 Panel: Green Filmmaking (and Opportunities through Covid) Not every film production can be 100% green, but there are steps that every filmmaker can take on set. This panel discusses these kinds of «quick wins» We also offer a positive summary of the Covid era: of course, disposable masks, single-use bottles, and gloves have not been beneficial in environmental terms, but the emergency has also enabled long-term solutions that would not have been implemented as quickly otherwise. The workshop will also address measures that are applicable to short films and discuss interim results to give participants ideas they can apply to their next project.

Moderators Jela Hasler (SUI), Pro Short, was born in Switzerland in 1986. She studied photography in Zurich and Istanbul and video in Lucerne.

Friday, 6 November 11:00–12:00 Panel: Swiss Industry Information: Funding for Sustainability Increasingly, the film industry is developing guidelines for so-called green filming. In Schleswig-Holstein, for instance, funding for film projects is tied to environmental standards during shooting. In this event, we look at Swiss film funding: What steps have been implemented so far and which ones are planned? What are the terms of Swiss funding agencies? Do they offer consulting on sustainable film production? Will there be a uniform standard or are there issues that are important to specific institutions? The panel addresses goals and potential measures. For technical reasons, this years panel will be held in English instead of a Swiss national language.

This initiative issues certifications for projects by national and international producers who verifiably shoot their films on location in an eco-friendly manner. To this date, 180 films, as well as TV series and short films, have received the card and thus been labelled sustainable productions. Urs Fitze (SUI), SRF, has been head of fiction at SRF since 2012.

12:30–13:30 Market Meetings Networking is key in the short film industry, so we offer digital networking opportunities this year. The Market Meetings provide a space for filmmakers, funding institutions, and festivals to meet, pitch their projects, or renew old contacts in short sessions.

14:00–15:15 Think Tank: How to Make Film Promotion Sustainably Green Filmmakers and industry delegates travel around the globe with their films. Personal appearances at international festivals remain essential for promotion as well as for networking. This year’s experiences with online festivals have shown that personal exchange is still very important, but the numerous travelling industry representatives are also responsible for a substantial share of CO2 emissions. How can film institutions and promotional measures become greener and more sustainable? How willing is the industry to adapt its travel behaviour in light of climate change? And what is the ecological footprint of online film markets? The Think Tank offers an open platform for exchange within the film industry to discuss new ideas for guidelines. Everyone interested in participating is asked to prepare for the discussion by reading the materials sent out prior to the event (approx. 1 hour).

16:00–16:30 Presentation: The Future of Shorts II: Crunching the Numbers for a Greener Festival The transition to a greener festival scene requires substantial investment and longterm planning. The short film industry, in particular, faces considerable challenges in regard to providing the needed capacities. But this investment will pay off in the long run. Sven Schwarz, managing director of the Hamburg Short Film Festival, shares his experiences with budgeting and talks about the challenges and successes, as well as the chain of effects in regard to transitioning to a greener festival.

Saturday, 7 November 13:00–13:30 Presentation: The Future of Shorts III: The Path to a Greener Festival Where there’s a will there’s a way. At least in theory. The path to a green festival comes with a lot of requirements. Many of the existing certifications are granted in stages, others are already outdated or designed for businesses or one-time events. Thus, a growing number of festivals in Austria are joining forces to adapt existing regulations. 2020 would have been the first year with a green strategy for Vienna Shorts. Festival co-director Daniel Ebner talks about goals, partial successes, and challenges.

Speaker Daniel Ebner (AT), Vienna Shorts, (*1981) is the co-founder and co-director of Vienna Shorts, Austria's leading international short film festival. He also works as a film curator and co-initiated the online short film magazine Talking Shorts.

Sunday, 8 November Environmental Activism Due to shorter and cheaper production processes, the short film format has long been a popular choice for political filmmaking, because it can react quickly to historical events and trends. This also applies to environmental topics within politically committed filmmaking. Documentaries seem especially suited to addressing ecological issues.

13:00–13:30 Presentation: Environmental Activism I: Nick Jordan How can we approach environmentalism artistically? Filmmaker and artist Nick Jordan has chosen a simultaneously poetic and activist approach for his film «The Atom Station». His images are informed by poetry as well as by the statements of an environmental activist. In this presentation, Jordan talks about finding his topic and about how to address ecological problems without sacrificing his unique visual language.

Speaker Nick Jordan (GB), filmmaker and artist, is based in Manchester (UK). Exploring the interconnections between natural, social, and cultural histories, Jordan’s hybrid documentaries have been shown extensively at international exhibitions and festivals, including special focus programmes at London Short Film Festival (UK), Minimalen (Norway), and HOME (UK). He studied fine art at Nottingham Trent University (BA) and Manchester Metropolitan University (MA) and is a programmer for Braziers International Film Festival (UK).

17:00–17:30 Presentation: Environmental Activism II: HD PERU Brothers Alvaro and Diego Sarmiento make films that advocate for the preservation of their culture and nature. Their film «Green River» premiered at the 67th Berlin IFF. Their project was also supported by the Berlinale Talents Footprints programme in 2020. In their conversation, they will share their motivations and goals and talk about what they have achieved so far.

Writers’ Room 2020 7/8 November online Available until 15 November All events take place in English. This year’s Writers’ Room focuses on the mysteries of documentary storytelling. On the face of it, documentary is an elusive genre that requires a lot of time and improvisation. To unlock some of its secrets, the Writers’ Room and FOCAL offer a forum for conversations with authors and directors. A variety of approaches to realizing documentary narratives will be analysed and discussed. The Digital Industry Hub offers numerous events over the course of the festival week. Industry representatives can participate live or watch the events later – all events are held in English and will remain available online until 15 November. Registration is only possible after requesting a free Industry Accreditation for the Digital Industry Hub. Accreditations will open on 14 October. The registration link will be sent out with the accreditation confirmation.

Saturday, 7 November 11:00–12:00 Presentation: Submitting the Best Dossier The introductory event for this year’s Writers’ Room is a presentation by Georgian, French-based director Nino Kirtadze («Don’t Breathe»), winner of the European Film Award. She will talk about how to successfully tailor dossiers to the respective recipients, since not all institutions apply the same criteria, nor do they have the same expectations. Kirtadze will use examples from her own portfolio as illustration and answer audience questions.

Speaker Nino Kirtadze (GE) is a scriptwriter and actress. Her acting career started with the lead role in Nana Djordjadze’s «Chef in Love», which was presented in Cannes and nominated for an Oscar. She has worked with numerous renowned artists, including Peter Brook, Vittorio Gassman, Philippe Monnier, Jean-Pierre Ameris, Claude Goretta, Jacques Perrin, Olivier Langlois, and Josée Dayan. Nino Kirtadze is based in France, and since 2019, she has been the Georgian representative at Eurimages, the cultural support fund of the Council of Europe.

15:00–16:00 Conversation: From a Theme to a Story This discussion explores the development of films from an idea to the protagonists, focusing on how to find them and how to condense their personal stories without losing their essence. Jacqueline Zünd («Goodnight Nobody», «Almost There», «Where We Belong») talks about this creative process with Edgar Hagen. Where does she find her topics and how does she approach them? How does she get access to the protagonists’ inner voices, and how does she translate their personal worlds into images? It’s a process that requires time and empathy.

Moderator Edgar Hagen (SUI), FOCAL, was born in Basel in 1958. He studied philosophy and German literature at the University of Basel and at Freie Universität Berlin. He works as an independent documentary filmmaker, author, and producer. Since 2013, he has been head of directing documentaries at FOCAL. His film «Journey to the Safest Place on Earth» (2013) premiered at DOK Leipzig. «Who Are We?» (2019) premiered at IDFA. In 2016, he founded the production company Vollbild Film Ltd. His latest feature length-documentary project is entitled «On the Trail of Madness».

Speaker Jacqueline Zünd (SUI), was born in Zurich, Switzerland. She studied journalism at the Ringier School of Journalism and film at The London Film School.

Sunday, 8 November 11:00–12:00 Conversation: How Do I Tell Their Stories? The protagonists in the films of Susanne Regina Meures («Raving Iran», «Saudi Runaway») face decisions that will change their lives forever – they are torn between their home country that is trapped in old structures and the promises of a better future. Meures succeeds in gaining their trust and offers an honest view of their experiences. In conversation with Sirkka Möller, the filmmaker talks about how documentary films develop through the interplay between various stakeholders and unpredictable factors. She explains how to cinematically condense the experiences of the protagonists and how the process of creation functions at the team level.

Moderator Sirkka Möller (GER), expert for documentary projects, organizes and programs at international film festivals, with a focus on documentaries and short films. Among others she has worked for DOK Leipzig, Sheffield IDF, FID Marseille, DocPoint Festival Helsinki, and for the world sales agent Deckert Distribution.

Speaker Susanne Regina Meures (GER/SUI) is a German-Swiss filmmaker who gained attention with her debut film, «Raving Iran», which premiered in 2016. It was shown at over 130 film festivals worldwide, won numerous awards, and went on to be a success in cinemas. «Saudi Runaway», her second feature-length documentary, premiered at Sundance Film Festival in 2020 and had its European premiere at Berlin International Film Festival in 2020.

15:00–16:00 Conversation: What Is the Best Form for My Project? Basil da Cunha’s «O Fim do Mundo» was a big success at international festivals. His characters oscillate between acting and reality: he uses local amateur actors in his films. The subject is their own youth in a hopeless slum in Lisbon, where da Cunha himself lived for years. In conversation with Delphine Jeanneret, he explores the question of what genre the film belongs to – fiction or documentary.

Moderator Delphine Jeanneret (SUI) HEAD, graduated from the University of Lausanne with an MA in art history and American literature, as well as a postgraduate diploma in cultural management. For over 15 years, she has been involved in projects that support independent cinema and upcoming filmmakers with reaching an audience.
