Three new professors brighten up the Brandenburg Film University!
On February 12, 2025, the Konrad Wolf Film University appointed three new professors. This decision demonstrates the institution's commitment to promoting innovative teaching content in the areas of film and media. The new professors are: Prof. Susanne Binninger, who will take over the professorship for directing documentary and non-fictional formats in the directing degree program, Prof. Gudrun Krebitz, who will concentrate on experimental animation in the animation degree program, and Prof. Anna de Paoli, who will in future head the professorship for film production in the film and television production degree program. Their experiences and expertise are expected to have a significant impact on the students' education.
Prof. Dr. Susanne Sturmer administered the oath to the new professors during a celebratory ceremony. The oath obliges them to uphold the Basic Law of the Federal Republic of Germany as well as the constitution of the state of Brandenburg and the applicable laws. In addition, the professors have committed themselves to fulfilling their official duties conscientiously and acting independently of any party. In doing so, they send a clear signal for professionalism and integrity in academic teaching.
Latest developments and focal points in teaching
The Konrad Wolf Film University is not alone in its efforts to improve teaching in the areas of film and media. At the Beuth University of Applied Sciences, the range of courses in the area of screen-based media is also constantly being expanded. Professionals like Titus Faschina, who is best known for his work as an author, director and dramaturge, are in charge there. His focus is on documentary work and he has extensive experience since the 1990s.
Another important part of the teaching is the commitment of Bernd Fischer, an award-winning cameraman and documentarian. Since joining the professorial team in the summer semester of 2020, his goal has been to further develop innovative film techniques and technologies. Prof. Sabrina Scharpen, on the other hand, who has been responsible for Creative Producing/Audiovisual Media since November 2024, integrates creative production with modern technologies such as artificial intelligence into her teaching.
The diversity of the discipline
The diversity of topics and focuses is also reflected in the other fields of activity at Beuth University. Robert Strzebkowski, who specializes in hypermedia and authoring systems, brings his knowledge of interactive and didactic moving image media. His research focuses on areas such as usability and extended reality media, making the university an innovative place for learning.
