Info: Virtual production is fundamentally changing filmmaking by merging physical shoots with digital worlds in real time. At its core is Unreal Engine, which makes virtual environments visible and navigable directly on set.
HYPERBOWL combines LED volumes, precise camera tracking, and real-time rendering to create a production environment where scenes look nearly final while still being filmed (ICVFX). Light, perspective, and background respond instantly to the camera, creating a seamless connection between physical reality and digital content.
Drawing on a selection of production examples, we'll look at the more efficient workflows, creative control, and entirely new possibilities for visual storytelling this opens up. Power to the Storyteller.

Info: Playtest of our successful FFF-funded proof of concept: Set in early modern Bavaria, we play as a traveling musician seeking a way to free our beloved, who has been accused of witchcraft.

Info: The CreatiF Center at HFF München explores new technologies, workflows, and narrative forms for film, TV, and interactive media. As an interface between the creative industries, research, and technology, the Center brings together filmmakers, developers, and researchers to explore and test tomorrow's production and storytelling approaches.
A growing focus is on games and game tech – from interactive storytelling and game development to the use of game engines in film production and transmedia IP and story-world projects. This is complemented by events, networking, and advisory services for practitioners working across film, games, and media.

Info: GOD MODE is a feature film project about two friends determined to get their ambitious indie game to Gamescom – at any cost. We're looking for collaborators to help conceive and develop the fictional game, as well as inspiration and insights from the industry.
