Master class for production designers
at Costume House theaterkunst.
In cooperation with Theaterkunst.
10:00 | excursion | Shuttle leaves at 9:30 from Hau 2
Production designers and their teams would be at quite a loss
if it wasn’t for the Theaterkunst. A reputed institution with a long
tradition of outfitting films, Theaterkunst designs very personal and
in di vidual collections for each film in line with their specifications.
Their highly skilled team of wardrobe masters, tailors, designers and
costume painters custom­makes every piece of clothing (or disguise)
no matter how eccentric. As film costumes are a vital part of the narrative
elements and contribute to the overall effect of the film, nothing
about their form, colours, material, cut and design can be left to
chance. Visiting the Theaterkunst is similar to taking a journey into the
past where one revisits such classics as BEn-HuR, THE BLuE AnGEL and
METROPOLIS, and the more recent critically acclaimed films THE LIVES
OF OTHERS and InGLOuRIOuS BASTERDS.
A guided tour around Theaterkunst will introduce produc ­
t ion designer Talents to the vast collection of clothes and accessories
stretch ing back decades and to the tiny details that go into costume
and production designing. Talents will also benefit from an en lightening
case study of the historical drama THE LAST STATIOn, which was
filmed in Germany and supplied costumes by Theaterkunst. The film is
an adaptation from the best­selling historical novel by Jay Parini and
illustrates Russian author Leo Tolstoy’s struggle to balance fame and
wealth with his commitment to a life devoid of material things.

In cooperation with World Cinema Fund.

With the aim of bringing new perspectives to the big screen
from countries with little financial aid, the World Cinema Fund, an
initiative of the Berlin International Film Festival, the German Federal
Cultural Foundation in cooperation with the Goethe­Institut, finances
independent productions from around the world. Supporting films
from Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, Central and South East
Asia and the Caucasus, the fund looks for independent cinema that
narrates local stories, embodies innovative ideas, concepts and aesthetics.
As Project Manager Vincenzo Bugno explains, “Our job is an
incredible privilege. We deal with countless stories, visions and visual
worlds but we are also very ambitious: we try our best in order to
support strong projects with an original artistic profile. And it works!”
Eighty fiction and documentary films have received funding from the
World Cinema Fund so far. One of their very recent success stories is
unCLE BOOn MEE WHO CAn RECALL HIS PAST LIVES by Thai director
Apichatpong Weera sethakul, which won the Palme d’Or in Cannes in
2010. Moreover, three World Cinema Fund films will have their world
premiere at the 2011 Berlinale: THE PRIZE in Competition, MEDIAnERAS
