A platform for all Europeans | EUROtoday

“No risk, no fun.” Heike Hempel really mentioned the sentence. In entrance of 650 filmmakers on the ZDF reception on the Munich Film Festival. It was in regards to the ZDF believing that they’ve lastly discovered the codecs for the goal group that the ZDF in any other case avoids. The kids want to fall into the “half -house half”, which fits into the fourth season, “Späti” will proceed and in addition “Crystal Wall”.

In dialog with the FAZ, Heike Hempel tells that the collection “Crystal Wall”, which is a few blended martial artwork fighter that can be bodyguard from one million inheritance, was created on the tearing board: “We wanted to look at a series with a not so high formal educational degree, between the ages of 25 and 35 and not otherwise. ‘Crystal Wall’. ” She is aware of in regards to the balancing act that it applies to the older ZDF viewers and the brand new hip prospects. That is why collection comparable to “The Berg Doctor” and “the mountain rescuers” are modernized, for the youthful ones there are “Dr. Nice” and “Lena Lorenz”.

In her twin operate as ARTE boss and ZDF predominant division supervisor, Hempel had nothing lower than the “new world order” in thoughts: “We have to protect democracy and preserve the peculiarities,” she says, and “We have to become more agile, because the money has become less and the market is changing.” Criticism of public service broadcasting “comes from those who want to rule without an informed public”. It formulated the ZDF mantra, which must also apply to ARTE: “The connector counts. How can we tell about the success?”

Arte needs to “further develop into a European platform for all Europeans, into a cultural and media defense community”. It will not be sufficient that Scandinavian nations comparable to Finland, Norway and Sweden are there. Hempel has been certain to have political assist since she had the French Minister of Culture Rachida Dati and Minister of Culture Wolfram Weimer. Now she hopes for more cash for Arte.

How severe the ZDF is with the challenges of the brand new time not solely reveals the institution of an viewers division that, in line with Hempel, “our programs distributed and tell us which channels we play as effectively as possible as possible”, but additionally a workshop with actress Gesine Cukrowski and the writer Silke Burmester. For this she “even let a film whiz,” says Cukrowski. The concern that’s about you will need to her: ladies between 50 and 60, with a clothes measurement 42/44 and their regular issues, don’t happen in this system. “Either they wear 34 and are extremely drought or they are chubby. The reality of life of this target group has been hidden so far.”

To change that is her concern, which was in all probability understood on the ZDF. The Tyrolean half -time builder Tobias Moretti additionally made a detour to the Munich movie competition. The hail has simply destroyed his zucchini harvest, “one hundred percent,” he says. As an actor, he might solely work as a result of his spouse Julia retains his again free. He is presently filming after which rehearses the “broken jug”.

For most, the Munich movie competition stays a big stage for self-promotion that “File X” star Gillian Anderson makes use of to advertise their movie “Saltpath”. Julia Koschitz is discredited. She performs within the movie “The Visited Child” by Susann Bernardi, which many take into account worthy of prize on the competition. A really younger and an older actor are very glad: Leon Klein (25) says that he solely is aware of good instances and discusses with Kara Edenberg about how TikK-Content allows you to silver up, “better than on Insta”. Edgar Selge (77) wanders via the backyard of the Institut Francais and says he enjoys not having to show as a lot anymore. “I’ve only made two films in recent years. One of them -” Leibnitz “will soon come to the cinema. But that’s enough for me. Really.”
