with our own coordination and how we can change it. Rodrigue’s
teachings emphasise the awareness of the body and the physicality of
performance.
Every gesture has enormous implications in telling the story
and revealing the character. The workshop will explore the elements
that make an actor charismatic, emotionally authentic and clearly expres
sive by developing kinesthetic awareness of your body, ex plo r ing
the basic principles of the Alexander Technique, connecting to breath
coordination and voice to text, being in space and entering the world
of the story, understanding how to bring ritual, myth and primal ances
tors into your performance, and using animal movement as a way
to find the spine of the character and connecting to your em otions.
Participants are required to have a monologue ready for this intensive
hands­on workshop and interactive experience.

The European Film Market (EFM), a film trade fair, is a major
industry meeting for the international film circuit. For nine days during
the Berlinale, film professionals have the opportunity to find out about
the latest productions and developments in the global film scene. The
annual EFM acts as a vital barometer for the upcoming film year, attracting
distributors, film buyers, producers, financiers and co­production
agents, as it assists their positioning in the market and offers op portunities
to develop and cultivate business contacts. This year, over 400
exhibitors from 54 countries and over 650 films will be presented to
industry visitors. The historical location of the EFM, which is housed in
the renaissance­style exhibition hall of the Martin­Gropius­Bau, lends
the vibrantly active event lasting nine days, a certain gla mour and
charm.
Excursions guided by Sydney Levine, who will also conduct a
“Meet the Expert“ session (see page 35), will enable Talents to acquaint
themselves with the structure and workings of the EFM. Talents spe cialising
in documentary filmmaking can also join the special tour to
“Meet the Docs”, a joint initiative with the European Documentary
network (EDn) and specifically dedicated to the documentary industry.
“Meet the Docs” aims to promote networking and exchange
among buyers, sellers, directors, producers as well as distributors of
docu mentaries.
the Shortest track to Cinema
Catherine Colas, alexander Stein and rudolf Worschech.
Moderated by Maike Mia Höhne.
In cooperation with Berlinale Shorts.
17:00 | Hau 2
Short films that find their way into regular cinema programmes
remain few and far between. And although some dismiss short films
as a medium for filmmakers just starting out, this under­appreciated
genre is thriving, innovative and extremely active. What chances do
short films have these days to be screened in regular cinemas? new
strategies are being developed by proponents of the short film; one
such example is an initiative launched in Germany, which will be
presented by Catherine Colas (ZDF/ARTE). Berlinale Shorts curator
Maike Mia Höhne will discuss, the various ways, means and actions
undertaken to ensure that shorts get to the big screen, with Catherline
Colas, Alexander Stein, Interfilm Festival producer, and Rudolf Worschech,
chief editor of the German film magazine EPD Film. Addit ­
i onally, some of the shorts which have managed to reach cine mas and
audiences will be screened during this session.

A singular opportunity for Talents and experts of the short film
genre to network and explore possibilities of producing, distributing
and showcasing short films follows the panel. This mini “marketplace“
will comprise short film industry professionals from within Germany
and abroad – broadcasters, distributors, sales agents, producers, festi ­
val programmers and short film marketing institutions. The infor mal
event is meant to assist Talents in making contacts for screening and
distributing their short films, enquiring about oppor tunities, potential
partners and funders, and familiarising themselves with the market of
alternative venues.

The legal ramifications inherent to the filmmaking process
influence not just the creative but also the practical aspects of making
films and film music. Simply contemplating the myriad copyrights
and clear ances one needs is a scary prospect. But protecting your film
from lawsuits makes these legal issues integral to filmmaking itself.
Milena Fessmann and Mareile Büscher will elaborate on the im portance
of obtaining music rights and the ins and outs of the process.
Milena Fessmann is a music supervisor and the founder of Cinesong;
