Instead of Berlinale in February, there were Masterclasses in May 2022. Online, of course.
Letícia Milano and Johanna Faltinat from Büro für vielfältiges Erzählen and Mikkel Mainz were given a public lecture on their work in the morning, including a Q&A.
11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.:
Masterclass with Büro für vielfältiges Erzählen (Letícia Milano, Johanna Faltinat) - Q&A included.
The Office of Diverse Storytelling (Johanna Faltinat and Letícia Milano) introduced us to their dramaturgical model for storytelling characters from underrepresented and marginalized groups, proving the urgency of creating new and diverse experiential spaces in storytelling.
12:30 p.m. - 1:30 p.m:
Masterclass with Mikkel Mainz - Q&A included.
The lecture was held in English.
In the last masterclass of animator and founder Mikkel Mainz we were impressed when he presented us some of his projects and told us more about his creative way of working, his startup and successful community network.
This year's Hessen Talent Tajo Hurrle and Kunsthochschule Kassel's Joey Arand moderated.
In the afternoon there were bookable one-on-one conversations with the speakers – an exclusive offer for the Hessen Talents.
Registration for the lectures on 24.05. via: Eventbrite
Letícia Milano ist Journalistin und Autorin. In ihrem ersten Leben war sie eine weiße, studierte Frau aus der Mittelschicht Brasiliens. Mit ihrem Umzug nach Deutschland ist sie mit ihrer Herkunft zu einer Woman of Color geworden.
Johanna Faltinat ist Dramaturgin und Projektmanagerin. Als weiße, gesunde Westdeutsche ist sie vor allem privilegiert, kennt als Frau aber auch strukturelle Diskriminierung. Gemeinsam geben sie seit 2019 Workshops und beraten Kreative* aus der Medienbranche zum Thema Diversität mit dem Schwerpunkt auf Stoffentwicklung.
Mikkel Mainz is a Danish animation film director who is the co-founder of Sun Creature (Flee, Ivandoe) and the founder of Skjald (Tales of Alethrion). He created and directed the YouTube web series and universe "Tales of Alethrion", a crowdfunded project with 200.000+ followers that was financed through crowdfunding (500.000 USD). His work is typically 2D, dynamic and with rich worldbuilding.
