Iris Berben, Sebastian Urzendowsky & Katharina Schuettler in “The Day Will Come” (photo courtesy of MFG Filmfoerderung) DISCOVER BADEN-WUERTTEMBERG In collaboration with the Film Commission Baden-Baden/Karlsruhe, the film fund MFG Filmfoerderung is extending an invitation to join a location tour in the Mittlerer Oberrhein region from 24 to 25 September 2009. The motto of the tour is “The Fan City Karlsruhe and its Environs – Fanning Out Locations” and for producers and filmmakers it should be a voyage of discovery to exciting, unspoilt shooting locations (contact: Uschi Freynick, freynick@mfg.de). Locations in the South West are enjoying growing popularity: the RAF-drama Long Shadows by Connie Walther was filmed in and around Freiburg and received considerable support from the Location Office Region Freiburg. The team from The Day Will Come – cinema debut of writer and director Susanne Schneider, who lives in Tuebingen – also filmed in various locations in the Black Forest. This family drama with Iris Berben and Katharina Schuettler in the leading roles focuses on an ex-terrorist. Already awarded the Thomas Strittmatter Prize during the Berlinale 2008, the film celebrated its world premiere at the Munich Film Festival this year and will be open - ing in German cinemas on 26 August 2009. GERMAN-FRENCH SHORT FILM RENDEZ-VOUS In June 2009, the 10 th German-French Short Film Rendez-vous took place in Strasbourg. The event organizers were the Goethe-Institut in Nancy and the Institut Vidéo Les Beaux Jours Strasbourg. In past years, various partners had already participated on the German side (including CineMayance Mainz and the Baden-Wuerttemberg Film Academy in Ludwigsburg). At this year’s 10-year anniversary event, the German Short Film Association and German Films attend ed for the first time, together with the Institute for Cinema and Film Culture/Cologne. In the run-up to the event, five German and five French short films were selected by the cooperating partners. The German representatives were Shift (15 Minuten Wahrheit) by Nico Zingelmann, Coma by Johannes F. Sievert, Robin by Hanno Older - dissen, Summer Sunday (Sommersonntag) by Fred Breinersdorfer and Sigi Kamml, and Ultima Ratio by Marc Schleiss. The directors were invited to Strasbourg in order to meet and exchange ideas in two days of discussions, and the selected films were presented in the Musée d'art moderne et contemporain de Strasbourg on 11 June 2009. But the main event was a seminar on 12 June 2009: led by director Florian Gaag, this meeting took place in the rooms of ARTE Strasbourg, where the participating directors and interest ed guests had an opportunity to discuss the differing frame - work conditions in their home countries as well as matters of film aesthetics. 1 ST KIDS REGIO FORUM With support from the Thuringian Ministry of Construction, Regional Development and Media, from Mitteldeutsche Medien - foerderung (MDM) and members of the Cine Regio network, a conference on the future of European children’s film took place in Erfurt from 24-25 June 2009: The 1 st KIDS Regio Forum. More than 100 participants from 17 European countries – authors, directors and producers, as well as sales agents, distributors, cinema owners, TV representatives, funders, and representatives of the existing lobby groups who are active in this field all over Europe, met in Erfurt to discuss the situation of European children’s film in detail, defining basic problems and deficiencies and sounding out possible synergies and solutions. By bringing together the different players from this parti cular branch of the filmmaking industry, the conference aimed at developing a course of action that can improve the situation of European children’s film. The participants of the 1 st KIDS Regio Forum have agreed on an agenda of 5 points – the “Erfurt Declaration”, aiming at a strengthening of the live action feature film for children. The declaration can be downloaded at www.kids-regio.org. GERMAN FOCUS AT ANNECY The 33 rd Festival International du Film d’Animation took place in Annecy/France from 8 - 13 June 2009. In collaboration with German Films, for the second time the German Short Film Association (AG Kurzfilm) and the German Institute for Animation Films (DIAF) organized a stand for German animation film at the film market MIFA during the festival. In addition, the DIAF presented two exhibitions “Puppets in Film” and “Flying the Colors of Germany. Focus on Raimund Krumme” in Annecy. The festival showed more than 60 German animation films in several special sections within the framework of this year’s German focus. There was an experimental film program, two programs with student films, two programs with films by established animation filmmakers, and a program looking back over 20 years of Studio Film Bilder.

David OReilly’s Please Say Something, the only German entry in the inter - national competition for the Annecy Cristal, was awarded a Special Distinction. Together with German Films, AG Kurzfilm presented the brand-new DVD screener New German Animations with selected short German animation films at the MIFA. The brochure 100 Years of German Animation, a cooperative production by the DIAF, AG Kurzfilm and German Films, was also presented to the public for the first time. Like last year, the market stand became a meeting point for filmmakers, producers and other representatives of the industry. In the coming year, the aim is to continue the German commitment of AG Kurzfilm and German Films together with additional partners in Annecy. 3 RD GERMAN FILMS PREVIEWS IN COLOGNE All good things come in threes: for the third time, some 80 international film buyers from 31 countries made their way to Cologne to get an overview of the current German production scene. From 12 – 15 July, 21 films were screened at the Cologne Cinedom, most of which had not been seen or screened before at international markets and festivals. Participation from Asia was particularly impressive: in addi - tion to distributors from China, Taiwan and South Korea, German Films also welcomed guests this year from Singapore, Thailand, and Japan to the Previews. Great interest was shown in the screenings of Berlin ’36 by Kaspar Heidelbach, The Door by Anno Saul, When We Leave by Feo Aladag, and My Words, My Lies – My Love by Alain Gsponer. The German- Lithuanian co-production Low Lights came directly from its world premiere in Karlovy Vary, and Wolfgang Groos’ Hangtime, which won the prize for the Best Young Actor in Munich just a week before, were also part of the Previews program. Interest was sparked by the promo-reels which presented the first excerpts from new productions like Fatih Akin’s Soul Kitchen and Jo Baiers Henry IV. Besides the film screenings, the networking events are an essential part of the German Films Previews. The international guests have the unique 3-day opportunity for intensive conversation and exchange of ideas with world sales agents and representatives of the regional media scene, something that is often cut short during the hectic of festivals and markets. After the opening evening atop the Cologne Tower, the Filmstiftung NRW invited the participants to a festive dinner at Bensberg Castle. An open-air screening of Andreas Dresen’s Whisky with Vodka rounded off the event with a barbecue at the Cologne cycling arena. german films quarterly news 3 · 2009 17
