This year, festival director Matthias Helwig has set the Five Lakes Film Festival under the theme "Time". A topic that has always played an important role in cinematic storytelling. Therefore, it is also the host of the screenplay panel, VDD board member Brigitte Drodtloff, keen to dedicate her "time" to this motto.
Physically, time is what a watch can measure. Einstein said "time is relative", in philosophy time is a sequence of events.
The fact is: Time has moved people since the advent of culture. Narrated time in the film is a fascinating challenge for any screenwriter and a magnet for viewers who appreciate great stories.
Good stories need time for research and development. But time is precious.
We live in a hectic, sometimes confusing time - the filmmakers absorb these moods and transformations, filter them through their own emotions and print them out in writing and images. But for this they need TIME and financial security to give a film the required depth and truthfulness and to write stories that survive the time.
What have we got? What do we need? What can we do?
Questions that are passed on to our guests.
