The three short films were created in the 2022/23 school year at Goethe-Grundschule Potsdam in collaboration with Medienwerkstatt Potsdam im fjs e.V. The project is part of the joint project “Digital Storytelling – Rediscovering the History of Babelsberg” (Weberstube Nowawes). The films were developed and produced together with pupils from the 4th to 6th grades.
The film project was conceived and directed by Yvonne Sakulowski from the Goethe-Grundschule, who also developed the acting part with the children from the performing arts group. The team from Medienwerkstatt Potsdam accompanied the film project from the very beginning in collaboration with filmmaker Matt Sweetwood. The film “The Legend of Babelsberg” won an award at the AUFBLENDE 2024 school film festival.
