Film-makers across Europe are “in shock” after learning the news that the Nipkow Programm has not received backing from the EU’s Creative Europe programme for 2015-2016.
Speaking exclusively to ScreenDaily, Nipkow Programm managing director Petra Weisenburger explained that the Berlin-based training initiative had not been successful in the latest round of funding for the next two years and would explore alternative strategies for a survival plan.
In the current financial year, Creative Europe had provided nearly 46% (€180,400) of Nipkow’s overall budget, with the remaining €215,543 coming from Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg (Mbb) and Germany’s State Minister for Culture and the Media (Bkm).
Weisenburger said that Mbb’s CEO Kirsten Niehuus had already indicated a desire to see the Nipkow Programm continue to exist, but the situation remains unclear about the funding from Bkm for 2015 onwards.
She added that the Nipkow Programm jury of experts will meet during the next Berlinale in February to discuss the initiative’s future...

James Mullighan, only in the post since January, could be out after critics come down hard on festival's latest edition
The Edinburgh international film festival is to begin recruitment for a new artistic director, it has emerged. After a 65th anniversary edition that has been beset by a funding crisis and a critical mauling, the Centre for the Moving Image (Cmi) – the organisation that controls the festival – is looking to advertise the post for the second time in two years, according to a report in the Herald.
Current festival director James Mullighan has only been in the post since January this year and is expected to reapply. His original appointment was shrouded in confusion when it was originally announced in December 2010 that he had been taken on as the festival's "producer", while "creative advisers" Mark Cousins, Tilda Swinton and Linda Myles would supply artistic direction. However, it emerged that the...
