Let’s Make It Legal
Mareile büscher and Michael C. donaldson.
In cooperation with Raue LLP.
11:00 | Hau 3, top floor
One of the major worries of a filmmaker is the threat of a lawsuit,
and consequently the fear of the completed film languishing in
legal limbo for an indefinite period of time. Indeed, filmmaking is and
should be a creative endeavour, but in order that this creativity is recognised
and appreciated, it is vital to invest attention and resources
to the legal aspects of filmmaking. In fact, taking care of these rather
unglamorous issues in a timely manner can be just as important to the
ultimate success of the film as having a great script, an outstanding
cast, spectacular cinematography or stunning special effects.
This session focuses on the legal issues likely to be encountered
during film production. Michael C. Donaldson has represented
writ ers, directors, producers and artists for over 30 years; his book
“Clear ance and Copyright: Everything the Independent Filmmaker
needs to Know” is used as a textbook in over 40 colleges and uni versities.
Join ing him onstage is Mareile Büscher, legal counsel at Raue
LLP, who specialises in intellectual property matters, media and entertainment
law and copyright litigation and negotiation; she is also a
lecturer on art and copyright law at various institutions. The two legal
counsels will advise, using examples from the productions they have
dealt with – Donaldson in north American and Büscher in Europe – on
what to beware of when making films.
Camera Workshop at Camelot
In cooperation with Camelot Broadcast Services.
feb 14, 13:00 | Shuttle leaves at 12:30 from Hau 2
feb 15, 10:00 | Shuttle leaves at 9:30 from Hau 2
Camelot‘s camera workshop during the Campus offers participants
the possibility to see first­hand and ask questions about a
variety of cameras. They will be demonstrated and guided through
the cameras’ many functions and possibilities. Of particular interest
will be Sony‘s F35, the Arri Alexa, the Red One with MX sensor, the
PMW F3, the Pro­35 adaptor and the Canon 7D with PL mount. Par ticipants
will be able to learn about the cameras‘ many different properties
and recording possibilities, and will also be warned of potential
pitfalls in addition to receiving tips on the best ways to avoid them.
This will place them in a better position to shoot material in a way that
best suits whatever production or post­production work flow they
might find themselves in, in the future. Moreover, this practical workshop
allows participants to gain real hands­on experience with the
cameras in question and to try them out for themselves. This way, they
can perform their own tests, whether shoulder­held or tripod­based.
excursion to the Costume House theaterkunst
In cooperation with Theaterkunst.
13:15 | Meeting point 13:00
at the entrance to Hau 1
Whether it is a dark thriller, a heart­warming comedy, an opulent
period drama or a racy science fiction film – they are all fitted
with costumes and accessories at the Costume House Theaterkunst.
The largest and oldest costume house for film, television, theatre and
advertising in Germany, the institution celebrated its hundredth
anniversary in 2007. With branches in Hamburg, Munich and Cologne,
and headquarters in Berlin, the costume house offers about 10 million
pieces from all styles, epochs and trends, making it possible to trace
the past decades of film history and costume equipment. They have
fitted such films as VARIETé, BEn HuR, METROPOLIS, and more recently,
the likes of InGLOuRIOuS BASTERDS, THE READER and THE WHITE RIB-
BOn. Innumerable rows of clothes and accessories, the latter in clu des
scarves, gloves, glasses, jewellery, hats and umbrellas, from every era
imaginable adorn the racks of the Theaterkunst, making one wonder
about the extent of creative expression and extreme attention to contextual
and historical accuracy that go into putting together each
costume and film. This general tour is open to ten Talents.
