Berlinale Producers’ Brunch on February 17, 2026, with keynote speech by Dr. Alexander Thamer
Medianet Producers’ Brunch on the occasion of the 76th Berlinale on the topic “AI is changing film production – but who actually sets the rules?”
As part of the Berlinale, medianet berlinbrandenburg, together with BOEHMERT & BOEHMERT and NORDEMANN, is once again hosting a morning event for the film and television industry at the Brandenburg State Representation.
This time, the discussion will focus on artificial intelligence and the questions of whether remuneration regulations can create fair standards for AI-supported workflows, how self-regulation and new contract models are developing, and what laws such as the AI Act, the German Civil Code (BGB), and the KUG really mean for the industry.
After a welcome address by Dr. Friederike Haase, State Secretary in the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Labor, Energy, and Climate Protection of the State of Brandenburg, and a keynote speech by BOEHMERT & BOEHMERT attorney Dr. Alexander Thamer, a high-caliber panel will discuss the impact of AI on film productions and new regulations.
Dr. Julian Waiblinger from NORDEMANN will moderate the discussion, while Prof. Dr. Jan Bernd Nordemann will conclude with a brief summary of the results.
