Explorer Konferenz docks again in Hamburg

28.06.2022 | Future Congress in October 2022

How are new digital tools affecting the film industry? And how are film production and the distribution of stories changing in times of radical change? As part of FILMFEST HAMBURG, the Explorer Konferenz #3 on 7 October 2022 invites you to explore these relevant questions together with international guests and take a look into the future. Three Explorer Impuls events offer a little foretaste.

The programme of the half-day Explorer Konferenz is aimed at Executive Producers, financiers, funding institutions and students and covers a wide range of topics that are currently of concern to filmmakers in Europe. Keynote speeches and case studies will cover topics such as diversification as a business strategy, expected developments in film distribution and automated reporting. There will also be a debate on how the community-based development of material, the use of virtual production and deep fakes are changing the reality of film production and storytelling.

At the Katholische Akademie Hamburg, German and international Speakers will provide insights into their work and strategies and impart future-oriented knowledge. In their contributions, they shed light on current phenomena and developments in a film industry in a state of upheaval.

In the run-up to the event, the second of three monthly Explorer Impulses hosted online will take place on Monday 29 August from 11am to 12pm. Timor Kardum, Co-Founder and Managing Director of MAGIG, will spend an hour online giving exciting insights into a new era of visual effects that are automatically generated with the help of artificial intelligence. Aging, de-aging or the cloning of faces (and voices) - Kardum impressively demonstrates the impact this new technology will have on future storytelling and the industry as a whole.
