In the organizer's words:

Masterclass for up-and-coming filmmakers in the region at the Münster 2025 film festival: In the masterclass, the managing directors of the Cologne-based production company filmfaust GmbH, director and author Mehmet Akif Büyükatalay and producer Claus Herzog-Reichel, will talk openly about first steps, stumbling blocks and new paths in the film business. They will also discuss how to think differently about films, how to finance them differently - and how to assert oneself in a changing industry. - Free admission

The two current films from filmfaust GmbH, "Hysteria" by Mehmet Akif Büyükatalay and "Sirens Call" by Miri Ian Gossing & Lina Sieckmann, celebrated their premieres at this year's Berlinale. Their production "Liebe, D-Mark und Tod" won the Grimme Prize in 2024. Büyükatalay's debut film "Oray" was awarded Best First Feature at the 2019 Berlinale. Moderated by Paula Essam.
