Kick-off for European Film Business and Law LL.M. | MBA

Welcome to the European Film Business and Law LL.M. | MBA! For the first cohort in the new master's degree program, studies began last week. Prof. Dr. Susanne Stürmer, President of the Film University Babelsberg KONRAD WOLF, and Dina Rubanovitš, Head of International Training & Business Strategy at the Erich Pommer Institut (EPI) welcomed the group to their first lecture.  Due to the online format, students were able to join from Riga, Leipzig, Copenhagen, Helsinki, Berlin, Bratislava, Reykjavik, Mexico City, Potsdam, Budapest and London. The international diversity is an asset to the course, as the participants bring different perspectives on the European production landscape.

In the first lecture on "Economic Framework", Prof Dr. Conrad Heberling, (Honorary Professor for Marketing and Market Research in Television | Film University Babelsberg KONRAD WOLF | Germany) and Stu Levy (Founder and CEO | TOKYOPOP | USA/DE) gave the students an introduction to the different markets of the audiovisual industry. Later in the module, Markus Andorfer (Managing Director | Markus Andorfer

In a few weeks, the students will also get to know each other personally for the first time: The second module will take place in November on-site in Potsdam and the group can experience the media city Babelsberg right away.
