fluter.de workshop
fluter.de is hosting a five-day workshop at transmediales Fly Utopia! Workspace in which a group of young people produces a series of short video reports and interviews for the Internet. The theme is 'utopia' and the films are generated in collaboration with the audience of the Workspace and fluter.des online-community. The recordings will be developed in the Fly Utopia! Workspace with the live audience, while questions are taken from the live chat at fluter.de. The final video will be immediately published on the Internet where transmediaies audience will be able to engage in a discussion with the fluter.de community. This creates an intertwined discussion space where both places meet throughout the ongoing production. fluter.de is the online youth magazine of The Federal Agency for Civic Education and is published ten times annually with specific themes. In February 2004, in collaboration with the transmediale, the theme is 'Utopia'. Six young people are chosen from an open call for applications to conduct the interviews and produce the clips throughout the transmedi- ale. These young journalists are being professionally trained on location in research, direction, camerawork, lighting, miking up, and editing basics. An additional part of the project is the December 2003 discussion forum Fly Utopia! at fluter.de, whose questions and suggestions will generate ideas for the production team on site.
