Electronic News – DEKRA Hochschule für Medien

“Electronic News” is an interdisciplinary set of new media activities, carried out by Dekra Hochschule Berlin and the University of Szczecin. Students and lecturers from both universities, together with the Szczecin Academy of Art, will be creating a live account of the events of Szczecin European Film Festival ’15.

The project includes all stages of “electronic news” creation: research, editing, production, post-production, broadcast. It will result in everyday coverage, interviews, mini-reportages, and reviews published in the form of a live blog administered by the journalists. The international formula of the project (participants from Poland and Germany) together with the wide variety of subjects (the newest films dealing with important current topics) are a perfect background for forming an intercultural dialogue.
