At the WorldMediaFestival
IT IS ALL ABOUT COMMUNICATIONS:

The concept of the WorldMediaFestival stands for more interaction.

It is all about communication and information - and helps you, by talking to others, to establish where you stand in an increasingly complex media world quickly and in a practical way.

The Screening Day before the Ceremony gives you an unrivalled opportunity to see the work of other programme-makers - in other countries, with other techniques, on other subjects. Also attend the "Best Practice" presentations by media professionals for media professionals.

No other Festival in Europe provides such a chance to expand your professional horizons in this way.

In addition, the social element of the Festival, that starts with the opening Get-Together in the evening of May 8 and concludes after the Awards Ceremony with the Media Party, gives you the chance to meet and talk to other programme-makers, as well as those who commission the programmes.

Please plan now to join us in Hamburg.
We look forward to meeting you. Sincerely,
CoraChinbuah@worldmediafestival.org

Key Note 2007

DIGITAL ASSET MANAGEMENT - a solution by IBM Deutschland GmbH and Dubidot GmbH
Example Web based video archive: Providing film material for diverse target groups

In your company you might have hundreds of hours of expensively produced video footage, image videos, TV spots and promotional videos. Instead of having these lying around in old dusty cupboards wouldn't you like to be able to utilize their value for internal and external communications and have the ability to easily redeploy them in whatever format you need? You want to make your website more attractive; you want to display your latest TV ads throughout your business; your employees want to look at promotional videos and promotional material on their mobile phones and pass these on to potential clients; your image videos need to be put on DVD and handed out at trade fairs; your advertising agency needs video stock to cut new TV spots; moreover your marketing department needs to be able to search, find and preview videos and additional information (product descriptions, presentations, CAP drawings ) for their campaigns and the data has to be downloadable in broadcast quality formats and must be ready to be sent out to tape or DVD. There is a solution . . .

and how this could work for you will be demonstrated at WorldMediaFestival during the Screening Day in a practical hands-on approach by COMO Computer & Motion GmbH - ProxSys solutions enable you to cost-effectively optimize media asset management across your organization.

Tokyo, December 14, 2006
Japan Association of Audiovisual Producers, Inc
Award-winning WorldMediaFestival films at seminar in Tokyo

Dear Ms. Cora Chinbuah,
We wish to have expressed our gratitude for your coming to the screening in Japan last year.
Mr. Takeshi Osuka, vice president of our association, died on March 6 this year. His death was a big severe wound for us. But his will is succeeded, an international committee was started up with new members. Mr. Kimio Ito, President of Image Science and Mitsuro Makiguchi, Managing Director of Image Science joined as members. Of course, we also have obtained the strong support of Ms. Emiko Okumura.

We are planning the screening of the Corporate film that received the high appraisal in Europe and the United States this year.
We have got the high appraisal from the participant every year because this kind of film doesn't have the chance to be open to the public in Japan besides this screening.

Best regards,
Tadashi Ohkubo
Secretary-general

The annual Tokyo screenings including the following 2006 WorldMediaFestival award winning entries will be held December 14 at the Tokyo International Forum:

Forum "Film WORKS" Successful Investment in Corporate Films

Organiser and host is Hamburg@work http://www.hamburg-media.net/
in cooperation with

Experienced communications managers from substantial businesses talk about successful corporate film projects that received awards in 2005 at the WorldMediaFestival - global competition for modern media.

The forum is intended for

Communication films have differing and very special tasks to perform.
Concept and realisation have to be carefully agreed between commissioner and producer when complex messages are involved. The more exactly the effective communication of core messages is thought through and worked on, the more certain it is that the film will achieve its intended effect, and thus be of use to the commissioner.

Film success needs continuity and a strategic overview.
This Forum lets you look over the shoulder of successful communications managers, and provides information on

Japan Association of Audiovisual Producers:
Award-winning WorldMediaFestival films at seminar in Tokyo

     

WorldMediaFestival goes East
The organisers of the WorldMediaFestival have travelled to Japan to introduce the concept of the Festival to the Japan Association of Audiovisual Producers, as well as to show some of the 2005 award winners.
The Association held its 8th annual seminar on 7th December 2005 at the Tokyo International Forum, where the topic of the event was "the best recently-produced international corporate films. The seminar was well attended, with an audience of around 150 members of the Association as well as other interested professionals.

Mrs Cora Chinbuah (founder and owner of the WorldMediaFestival) gave a presentation about the content and scope of international festivals: "Global competition is global communication". She also talked about the value and uses of audiovisual communications. The presentation had not only been translated from English into Japanese but was also presented in Japanese by Ms. Emiko Okumura, who is a member of the Distinguished Board of Advisors of the WorldMediaFestival.
Following the presentation, 10 international award-winning corporate films - 7 of them WorldMediaFestival winners - were shown, with Japanese subtitles, to the audience. The president of the Association introduced each film before screening, telling the audience about its producers, sponsors and the purpose of the production, as well as providing a short synopsis.
