Monkeys“ (Originaltitel “Üc Maymum”)by Nuri Bilge Ceylan and the numerous 3D trailers
were the highlights of the waste screening programme.
The workshops met many of the various demands: newest product generations, workflow-
scenarios, comparisons of cine and HD objectives, editing software, film and video restoring
software, colour grading software, use of studio recorders as well as specialized workshops on
3D-productions. Hands-on camera sets were made up by the famous German movie colleges
HFF and BAF and were especially frequented by students. Sony—as main sponsor—was also
very happy about the event: “The presentation of the whole digital workflow-spectrum as
well as the possibility to get in touch with producers, camera operators, editors and other
media professionals make this event even for a global player and broad line manufacturer
very valuable,” states Goran Hantschel, Divisional Director Professional Solutions Europe.
A constantly increasing number of visitors since the beginning in 2002, more and more
digital film productions as well the proceeding establishing of HD/HDTV as production and
broadcast standard undermine the importance of the event. The organizers of the Digitale
Cinematographie have already committed to keep on pushing this major industry event.
