YOU SAY FESTIVAL WE SAY PARTY presented by achtung berlin!

More than 30 Berlin film festivals invite all participants and guests on 15th February 2012 during the Berlinale on behalf of the network of Berlin film festivals “FESTIWELT”. Together we will celebrate the diversity of Berlin festivals at the FESTIWELT Berlinale Party: “YOU SAY FESTIVAL WE SAY PARTY“

Felipe Bustos Sierra

Felipe Bustos Sierra is going to present his current filmproject and according to 3 successfull projects, he already knows how to fund a film for a fact.

Born in Brussels to a Chilean journalist, an exile of Pinochet’s military coup, Felipe Bustos Sierra realised early on that stories have as many sides as they have storytellers. Early memories, also, seemed brighter and more persistent when witnessed on film.

Konrad Lauten

We are looking forward to welcome great guests and participants at the DigitalFilmCamp 2012! To provide you a short insight, we will present during the next days our speaker and their projects in a little more details. 

Konrad Lauten led the way, who will start with a panel on different forms of crowdfunding at the 1st DFC-Day.

Good news!

We published a basic version of the program for the DigitalFilmCamp 2012. This is going to be updated during the next days and more speakers are being announced continuously. What you already find there now are the start/end dates of the talks by Wolfgang Gumpelmaier, Konrad Lauten, Mark Dare Schmiedel and Felipe Bustos Sierra. Also, you'll see that we have coffee and lunch breaks as well. Please note, that the start/end dates on the second day may change a little. However, the final timetable and more program content will be published soon.

Crowdfunding - more than a financing alternative

Artists and promoter of cultural affairs know too well, that public funds are limited. So more and more creatives are looking for alternative financing options. Crowdfunding is one option and offers the possibility to fund a project by the community. Filmmakers, who have a great idea, but want to produce mostly or completely outside of the major film studio system stand to benefit from crowdfunding.

DigitalFilmCamp Berlin

At of the end of 2011, newthinking communication GmbH is taking over the organization of the DigitalFilmCamps. Simon Chappuzeau is assisting newthinking communication GmbH as the curator of the programm.

We are glad as this topic of the DigitalFilmCamp is strongly connected with Fundraising, which we focus on in a cooperation with the Fundraising 2.0 Camp&Conference 2012.

DigitalFilmCamp - 14-15 February 2012 in Berlin

DFC at Homebase

The DigitalFilmCamp (DFC) started as an open conference platform/un-conference to encourage interactivity between its participants. In the course of time the DFC evolved into a high-quality one-day conference, that enabled participants to exchange about crowdfunding and the film industry. Until 2011 the DFC has been organised by Simon Chappuzeau, founder of the HomeBase Lounge Berlin.
