Draft:C-tv Konferenz

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


The c-tv Konferenz is a biannual conference organized by the St. Pölten University of Applied Sciences in Lower Austria. The conference is dedicated to topics related to digital television, media production, media technologies and related areas. Numerous lectures and workshops offer the opportunity to exchange ideas with international experts.

History[edit]

The conference is first launched in 2009 under the motto Arbeiten für das Fernsehen (German for Working for Television).[1] The title c-tv Conference is introduced in 2015. This is borrowed from c-tv – Creative Content Channel. The educational television program produces “reports on current topics, short films and pilot films. It also serves as a test laboratory for new TV formats and experiments with the medium of television. All contributions are produced by students.”[2]

Initially an annual format, the conference will become a biannual format from the 2018 edition. Since then, the conference has become a “fixed date for filmmakers, media professionals, students, industry experts and interested parties”[3] and an important platform for the exchange of ideas, research results and best practices in the aforementioned areas. The conference attracts experts, researchers and professionals from various countries and offers them the opportunity to present and discuss their latest findings.

Tony Gregory, director and consultant for broadcasters such as BBC, SKY, ITV, Channel 4, RTL, MTV, PBS and keynote speaker at the 2017 conference, says: “Successes of new tools, workflows and programs can only be evaluated in the rear-view mirror, but "processes, workflows and paradigms of TV production will change more in the next five years than in the previous 80 years of TV history”.[4][5]

In 2016, around 200 guests attended the conference at the St. Pölten University of Applied Sciences in St. Pölten, Lower Austria.[3][6][7]

Topics and speakers[edit]

The speakers at the first conference in 2009 are Peter Kullmann, Titus Selge, Kathrin Rothe, Martin Machac and Maria Windhager.[1] Kullmann provides “a personal experience report on working with red cameras.” Selge reports “on the special demands that writing for television places on an author”.

Arman T. Riahi, Janna Nandzik, Nicolas Sauret, Dr. Doris Priesching, Corinna Kamphausen and Andreas Jaritz will be presenting on the topic of The new strategies of content producers in 2014.[8]

In 2017, invited speakers are Tony Gregory, Virgil Widrich, Kurt Danner, Frank Stahmer, Jörg Reitterer, Kathrin Stumreich and Johanna Pirker from the Institute for Interactive Systems and Data Science at Graz University of Technology. At the conference, Christiane Wittenbecher presents an award-winning documentary about the Stasi prison in Berlin-Hohenschönhausen, which was previously shown at the Berlinale as a 360-degree film. Workshops deal with the 3D sound technology of Dolby Atmos, which is also used at St. Pölten UAS, using the example of the band Kraftwerk.[9]

On the subject of disruptive technologies, topics such as artificial intelligence, blockchain and 5G[10] and how these developments “disrupt established ways of working and how ethically responsible production can be guaranteed” are covered in 2020.[11] The keynote speech on artificial intelligence is given by Tobias Queisser from Cinelytic, which works in Hollywood with Sony and Warner, among others.[11] On the subject of blockchain, several presentations show how blockchain applications are changing film production, complex cash flows and distribution.[11] Among others, Franz Fidler presents the Austrian Blockchain Center research center. Start-up founders Irina Albita and Kim Jackson present outstanding blockchain applications for the film industry. Jackson has previously worked with Universal Pictures, Steven Spielberg and Spike Lee, among others. There are also master classes by industry experts, a pitching session by students and presentations on the latest production technologies.[12] The conference concludes with an ORF DialogForum on the topic of New Technology – New Ethics, which is broadcast by ORF. The conference is broadcast live on derstandard.at.[10]

Under the title Virtual Production for the Films of Tomorrow,[13] the c-tv conference 2022 focuses on virtual production, a rapidly developing area of the film and TV industry.[14] “Virtual production is an umbrella term for the production of content using a combination of computer-generated imagery (CGI), game engines and virtual reality technologies. The integration of high-resolution LED screens and the Covid pandemic as drivers have given the new production method a major boost,” says Rosa von Suess, head of c-tv and organizer of the c-tv conference.[15] Speakers include Lisa Gray, Stefan Kuerzel, Alex Martin, Andreas Göltl and Sven Bliedung von der Heide, Director of Volumetric Studio Volucap,[16] who has worked on projects such as Matrix Resurrections, Marvel's The Avengers and Cloud Atlas.[17] The conference is streamed live by Der Standard.[18][19]

Keynote speeches by filmmakers and media experts form the core of the conference program. In addition, there are also master classes by industry experts, pitching sessions by students, presentations on the latest production techniques and a showcase of student projects.[20] The program with all invited keynotes and planned master classes are announced in advance on the conference website.
