3rd Symposium 2002

Wild Future!

2nd International Symposium on Wildlife & Natural History Films

Discovery Campus dedicated its 3rd Open Training Session to a genre which is an indicator for the whole non-fiction sector. After a deep recession, Wildlife and Natural History Films are back with new stories and breath-taking visuals. Spectacular co-productions which used cutting edge technology and raised exciting questions were analyzed during the conference. The productions for the internationalnon-fiction market came from broadcasters such as Animal Planet, ARD, DeAPlaneta, Discovery Channel, Mediaset, ORF, TLC and ZDF. International experts gave insights into future trends, the changing role of distributors, alternative financing strategies and helped independent filmmakers to find their way in the wildlife jungle. Taking the three-part mini series “The Future is Wild” as an example special attention was dedicated to 3 D - animation in non-fiction films.
