World premiere at the IFFR in Rotterdam with DCP by Digital Cinema Mastering: ‘The shipwrecked Tryptich’ by Neuzeit Filmagentur:

Expelled from humanity and yet bound to it – being shipwrecked means existing in this ambivalent space. Filmmaker Deniz Eroglu explores this concept through three independent episodes: a nursing home on New Year’s Eve, a sun-drenched Congolese family home and the medieval German landscape.

The next screening is on 8. February, tickets are still available…

We were allowed to create the Digital Cinema Distribution Master (DCDM) of ‘Ralentir la chute’ for Benedetta Films for storage at the Federal Archives: About the film: A large ski jump gleams metallically in the late summer light of the Alps. Two ski jumpers rehearse synchronised movements in the valley, answer generic questions in front of a green screen and pose on the hill while a film crew observes them. It is the first reunion for the two athletes after their separation. More information about the project can be found in the references:

We were busy and created a sound mix in 5.1 for Werkraum e.V.: “Woanders.Überall” In addition to the DCP / Digital Cinema Package, the film was played out as an H.264 version with stereo sound. We were also allowed to edit the credits. The source material was the sound cut version from Premiere Pro, which was edited and mixed using AAF transfer to Davinci Resolve / Fairlight.

The film is about violence against women and will be shown at various locations in Karlsruhe as part of the Orange Days.

Initiated by the Karlsruhe Women’s Shelter, the play “Woanders.Überall”, developed by four women themselves, has now been filmed.

“The number of people affected by domestic violence in the city of Karlsruhe has remained at a consistently high level for years. In 2022, there were more than 300 police incidents of domestic violence almost every day. In many cases, children are also involved. Almost every third day, the police issue bans from the home to the perpetrators.” (Quote: “Coordination group ‘Overcoming domestic violence’)

With this film project, we want to support specialist advice centers and women’s shelters in their work. The production and distribution of a prevention film on the subject of “violence against women” creates publicity and informs people that “violence against women” affects us all.

We were allowed to create the Digital Cinema Distribution Master (DCDM) and the Digital Cinema Packages (DCP) of “Heimatweh” for Gülsel Özkan / The Future Design Company for storage at the Federal Archive:

One normally exchanges goods, not people. But the “population exchange” between Greece and Turkey a hundred years ago affected over 2 million people. Greeks from Anatolia and Turks from Greece had to leave their homes.

Today, one in five people in Greece and one in fifteen in Turkey are said to be descendants of this systematic uprooting. In addition to the ideas of the nation state that emerged in the 20th century, religious affiliation in particular was a dividing line that led to violent excesses and expulsions. The idea of resettlement organized according to ethnic and religious principles caused unimaginable misfortune and misery on both sides of the resettled people. A “homelandsickness” that has not been healed to this day.

To this day, few people know about this period. Not only are endless tragedies buried in the massacres and expulsions, but also an important part of the history of the 20th century, which became a cruel example, almost a model. The conflicts between Turkey and Greece, which are still smouldering today, have their roots in the historical memories and traumas that are essential to both Greek and Turkish identity. With the fighting words: Nation and religion. It seems that time heals everything but the wounds.

We were allowed to create the Digital Cinema Distribution Master (DCDM) and the Digital Cinema Packages (DCP) of “COMPASSION AND INCONVENIENCE” for Vika Kirchenbauer for storage at the Bundesarchiv:

COMPASSION AND INCONVENIENCE

Everything that seems self-evident and normal today arose at some point. COMPASSION AND INCONVENIENCE explores the artistic field by historicizing it and proposing a different context of creation than that usually considered. Specifically, the essay-performance video looks at the first public exhibitions of contemporary art in London in the mid-18th century and the events and circumstances that led to them. An often-overlooked welfare institution for “abandoned infants” becomes the starting point for the founding of European art institutions in which private-sector and colonial interests intersect with ideas of charity and the pursuit of sophistication. Historical texts are spoken by a cast whose speaking positions differ from those of the authors of the text sources. The work uses performance to repeat with a difference and thus addresses a complex legacy that is passed on to current actors through the institutionalized structures of art.
