The Professional Media Master Class (PMMC) is an in-service or on-the-job program for media professionals who wish to professionalize themselves in a documentary film practice. The PMMC graduates form a strong network of artists in the region who deal with the complex issues of our time, are aware of their responsibility as opinion multipliers, are civically engaged and stand up for a solidary, fair and equal society with their projects and beyond.

The Missed Seminar re-activates archival material on the life, thought, writings, and relationships of Black feminist, anthropologist, and African American photographer Eslanda Robeson. Beginning with her friendship with German-Jewish Marxist philosopher Franz Loeser and their encounters in East Berlin in 1963, the curatorial study asks, What if their exchange had been the setting for a seminar? An exhibition and conversations unfold Robeson and Loeser's unfinished political aspirations and propose an intersectional blueprint on anti-fascism, Black feminism, and techno-politics.

In the Berufsbildungswerk, young people can try out a profession, prepare for an apprenticeship or complete an apprenticeship. The BBW specialises in people with hearing, speech and language or other communication impairments.

11 different training areas are portrayed in short videos. In each clip, trainees give very personal insights into their field and the special features of training at BBW become clear. The films were partly made with the involvement of the trainees. This gave the young people the opportunity to see themselves as an active and self-confident part of the film. The clips thus leave room for different focal points and yet follow a formal overall concept.

Here you can find the films.
