Effects with Language, Light and Scenery
The Munich Kammerspiele, commissioned by the Riemerschmid family as a new theatre in the city of Munich in 1899. The word “theatre” originates from the Ancient Greek théatron and means “a place for viewing”. The art form of theatre dates back to Ancient Greece. In honour of the god Dionysus, pieces were performed, which also involved discussions, decisions and thus politics. Theatre used to play an important part. Elke Bauer, head of “Kammer4you”, the office informing on the art form of theatre, explains how this worked. Original soundtrack Elke Bauer: “With the Dionysia in Ancient Greece, and also with the theatre as we know it today, it is always about people watching other people live. This means, in the theatre stories are told, in which people try to cope with themselves, with other people, with the world. And for the audience, it is always about gaining new perspectives, new ideas for their relationships with others.” Thus, theatre opened up new perspectives that were then taken up in politics and in everyday life.

Every day, there is a surge of news reaching us via different news channels. In spite of TV and Internet, the daily paper still is one of the most important main sources of news. But how is a newspaper created? The film shows the production of a paper in the course of one day. Starting with the editorial meeting in the morning, in which the topics and deadlines are determined, the film accompanies a journalist during her research work. You can see how a journalistic interview is conducted and what the photographer must consider when taking a press photo. Back in the editorial office, the editor’s work is illustrated, which includes the page layout and the writing of an online article in today’s time. Impressive pictures from the printing centre depict the process from the digital page to the finished newspaper.
