CINEMA. MY PLACE.

How can brands be effectively showcased in films and at the cinema? How does one successfully execute product placement, promotion, or sponsorship? Answers to these intriguing questions are provided in our new episode of CINEMA. MY PLACE.

Front woman Franziska Knoefel, who mingled with the prominent audience on the occasion of the LEUCHTSPUREN: MEET THE MAKER event, took a seat in one of the director’s chairs to interview the two film experts, Steven Gätjen and Dominik Porschen, and draw out their personal cinema highlights for 2023. Spoiler alert: Keep your diving goggles at hand. Because diving remains a theme even after Avatar – welcome to the world of Ariel.

On stage, we had the pleasure of welcoming the co-president of the German Film Academy, Alexandra Maria Lara, and the actor Rick Kavanian.
