Production Design Studio
The Production Design studio is an intensive workshop which brings together visionary experts and crafty Talents to reimagine the rules between set design and narrative practice.
The Studio is centred around in-depth exchanges for our production designers and digital set designers, involving professional and expert film architects, screenwriters and directors. It also includes a World Building session where experts from the fields of art and science introduce Talents to interdisciplinary and non-linear approaches to creating new “set designs” in film and beyond.
Talent comes with the responsibility to share, and at the Studios you are invited to give your best to receive a lot in response. In this way, the Studios form one part of the entire Summit experience. Where the six-day Summit offers a breadth of opportunity to learn new things beyond your individual expertise, hear new opinions, experience new techniques and ideas, the Studios are a one-day microscope on your specific field of work, deepening and strengthening your overall Berlinale Talents experience.
The power of sharing a space for discussion and ideas is paramount to enriching storytelling and creating solid foundations for different narratives, and to the importance of thinking procedurally in order to create tools to build narratives.Production Design Studio participant, 2023
The technique that Juan introduced to us is super exciting. It’s a new way to understand and explain our job as production designers, which I feel will strengthen our relationships with the other film departments.Production Design Studio participant, 2023
