Podcast

The conversations and recordings collected here deal with audio description in film: the practice and development of film description, with standards and public attention. We talk about progress, but also about what still needs to be done. In the process, some of the team members bring their expertise into the conversation.

The recordings were made during the production of „INTRO“. They document aspects of cooperation and joint reflection. They were made at different locations and with different equipment - so from time to time a metro rushes through the sound or the size of a room can be guessed at.

1. „INTRO“, Berlin

In the first episode, Anne, Halvard and Thekla talk about the project, the concept of the film, the planned production process and their expectations towards the collaboration.

5. „Fan or Air Conditioner?“

Instead of the announced interview with Jonas Hauer, here is a direct acoustic impression of the audio recording of our film with Jonas Hauer and Vincent Förster. The recording took place in our Schöneberg studio. Therefore, sound and editing are in parts more chaotic than in the other episodes.

6. „Once again for real"

Questions after the premiere and for the future. Anne, Thekla and Halvard talk about the film after the first screening at DOK Leipzig. Although we actually prefer to keep on talking about the film as a process – even if its finished.
