26/09/2013 - The European workshop on digital production workflows will take place in Warsaw from November 28-30, 2013

Digital Production Challenge (DPC) is entering its fifth year. Especially designed for 35 producers, line producers, production managers and post production supervisors, this European workshop on digital production workflows will take place in Warsaw from November 28-30.

Although digital technology is now part of everyday life, a plethora of workflows on one hand and a lack of lasting standards/supports on the other make it more complicated for producers to fulfil the demands of their partners (coproducers and distributors).

DPC enables professionals to get a better grasp of this complex environment, the tasks division between the partners involved - from the director to the post-production provider - and to acquire that shared language, thus granting them full access to the decision chain and guiding them to best position their productions within the digital workflow. 

DPC invites potential participants to submit their feature/documentary projects in development/pre-production to be pitched and discussed with experts at the 2,5-day workshop.

Using a mix of technical presentations, panel discussions and case studies, the workshop compares and analyses the best digital production and post-production workflows and also addresses the current and future challenges for producers, post-production coordinators as well as distributors and exhibitors in the digital era.

Trainers include experts Philippe Ros (Director of Photography/Digital Imaging Supervisor, France), Tommaso Vergallo (Managing Director of Digital Film Lab, Digimage, France), Ruedi Schick (Founder and CEO of Swiss Effects, Switzerland) and Filip Kovcin (co-founder of EBH Poland, Director-Editor-Post-Production Supervisor, Poland). The workshop's general moderator is Professor Martin Hagemann (Producer, zero fiction film, Germany). 

Other speakers include the distributor Régine Vial from Paris-based company Films du Losange and the post-production supervisor Florence Gilles, who will present a case study on the French-German co-production Michael Kohlhaas [+see also:
