BEYOND THE IMAGES
BEYOND THE IMAGES - Camera-day presented by ARRI
Narrative documentaries live from their immediacy. DOP's are repeatedly confronted with challenges: Decisions have to be made spontaneously and intuitively - the responsibility often lies with the people behind the camera.
For the first time, DOK.fest dedicates a whole day to camera work in documentary film. BEYOND THE IMAGES focuses on creative, technical, collaborative and social aspects of the working reality of DOP's. An industry day for documentary filmmakers and especially the people behind the camera.
Following BEYOND THE IMAGES, we invite all participants to attend the award ceremony of the ARRI AMIRA AWARD. The ticket for BEYOND THE IMAGES is also valid for the award ceremony. More information here.

Raus aus der Preisfalle!
15.45–17.15 Uhr, HFF Audimax
Vorsicht! Wer sich auf Preiskämpfe einlässt, sitzt schnell in der Falle. Denn wer wenig verdient, braucht jeden Auftrag – auch schlecht bezahlte. Ein Teufelskreis. Der Workshop Raus aus der Preisfalle! erklärt, wie man dieser Logik entrinnt: Er zeigt, warum selbständig verdientes Geld viel weniger wert ist als Arbeitslohn von Angestellten. Er führt vor, wie Kameraleute selbst schlechte Bezahlung provozieren. Und er liefert einen systematischen Ansatz für alle Freelancer, gute Arbeit in besseres Geld zu verwandeln.
Workshopleitung: Ingo Däubner (Kameramann)
This workshop will be held in german only
