Scene from ”As Far As My Feet Will Carry Me“ Kino news 24 MDM Development Phase Successfully Completed Since its foundation, the MDM Mitteldeutsche Medienförderung has supported over 250 projects with more than Euro 40 million. As a result, film productions such as The Legends of Rita (Die Stille nach dem Schuss) by Volker Schlöndorff, Forget America (Vergiss Amerika) by Vanessa Jopp and Cold is the Evening Breeze (Kalt ist der Abendhauch) from Rainer Kaufmann were shot in the states Sachsen-Anhalt, Thuringia, and Saxony. Even the international co-production Taking Sides under the direction of István Szabó with the Hollywood star Harvey Keitel in the leading role was filmed in the area. The MDM was instrumental in the development of an infrastructure in the media branch in Thuringia, Saxony and Sachsen- Anhalt. In addition to monetary support, initiatives for continuing education, workshops, meetings and the marketing of film locations in the region (www.mdm-locationguide.de) were established. The goals for MDM’s next level of active support include increasing the synergy effects in the region, continuing to promote new business establishment, strengthening the media network, as well as building up a practice-oriented educational program in the area. More information about the MDM can be found under www.mdm-foerderung.de. THE TUNNEL Wins ARRI Film & TV Audience Award at Second Festival of German Cinema in Los Angeles The Second Festival of German Cinema was held from 9 - 15 November 2001 in the Laemmle Music Hall Theater in Beverly Hills and met with an inquisitive audience and a positive echo from buyers and the press.

Bernard Edler von Planitz, Dr. Günther Koenig, Jeanine Meerapfel, Roland Suso Richter Successful Presentation of German Films at MoMA, New York For the 23rd time, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York showed a wide range of new feature and documentary films from Germany under the banner ”Germany 2001: New Films“. The program, which was presented in the museum’s two cinemas from 1 – 15 November 2001 and included two shorts for the first time, met with an enthusiastic audience. Over 9,000 spectators in a total of 34 screenings sat in mostly sold-out performances. A highlight of the event was the opening film The Tunnel which was warmly received by the audience and provoked a stimulating discussion with director Roland Suso Richter and producer Nico Hofmann. Jeanine Meerapfel (Anna’s Summer), Mirjam Kubescha (Ecce Homo) and Wilfried Huisman (Dear Fidel – Marita’s Story/ Lieber Fidel – Maritas Geschichte) also introduced their films in person. ”The program“, declared Laurence Kardish, Senior Curator at the Department of Film and Media in the Museum of Modern Art, ”numbers as one of the highlights of our international country focuses. The large number of German directors and producers, burdened by the weight of modern history and acutely sensitive to contemporary social issues, make deeply interesting films, not easy ones. The German cinema is and remains an inexhaustible supply of serious young filmmakers that deserve international recognition. Apart from the opening film, Anna’s Summer as well as the documentaries Dear Fidel – Marita’s Story, To Moscow with IKEA (Mit IKEA nach Moskau) by Michael Chauvistré, Lale Andersen – The Voice of Lili Marleen (Lale Andersen – Die Stimme der Lili Marleen) by Irene Langemann and The Himmler Project (Das Himmler-Projekt) by Romuald Karmakar attracted special attention. We have taken on the latter film for our film archive.“ The event was held in collaboration with the Export-Union of German Cinema, the German Federal Film Board (FFA), the Federal Government Commissioner for Cultural Affairs and the Media, as well as the six major economic film funds. Support was also forthcoming for the event from the German Information Center New York as well as Goethe-Institut Inter Nationes.

Filmboard Director Supports Amended Film Funding Criteria In the debate over a film funding reform, Filmboard Berlin-Brandenburg managing director Prof. Klaus Keil has suggested an amendment to film funding criteria, supporting the State Minister of Culture Julian Nida- Rümelin’s proposed ”criteria-based reference funding“. ”We define the success of a film in two ways – as an economic success at the box offices and as an artistic success through the awarding of prizes, special ratings and festival invitations“, says Keil. The Filmboard Berlin-Brandenburg intends to financially reward artistically successful films and filmmakers already in 2002, thus establishing the first equivalent to pure economic reference funding. The Filmboard has recommended including this ”success controlling“ in the catalogue of criteria to be evaluated for future film funding. According to Keil, ”The artistic reference is based on awards, competitions and admissions and will be evaluated on a points system. One point will be given for each award, each competition invitation, and every 100,000 viewers. The total points form the reference for financial recognition of the film’s artistic achievement", whereas modifications may be made depending on the importance of the festival and a bonus factor may be calculated for children’s films, documentaries and newcomers’ films. Prof. Keil is supportive of Julian Nida-Rümelin’s proposals in the ”Film Policy Concept 2001“ and says ”A radical thought would be the fusion of all the regional filmfunding bodies into one institution with individual ’state antennas’, like the Brussels Media Program. But that is not up for debate. Nida-Rümelin’s concept is a proposal everyone can work with, not just a few interest groups.“ 25
