A red carpet for the Internet! interface!berlin (the Berlin multimedia association), media.net berlinbrandenburg (a network of companies from the communications and media sectors) and the internet agency area42, are jointly presenting Webcuts.06 in Berlin, which has become a hotbed for the international art, culture and multimedia scene.
„What looks great on the computer screen, often looks even better on the big screen! Leaving the conventional distribution channels of the movie industry and accustomed art event formats aside, we will be showing these visually creative films to a large audience – on location in Berlin and online via live stream“, explains Holger Schöpper, managing director of media.net berlinbrandenburg. “The digital evolution unites all creative people – be it filmmakers, media artists or web designers. In the internet, the different art forms merge together. Whatever the software allows, is done. And exactly that’s what we show at Webcuts, the international internet film fest, year after year: a whole cosmos of new visual possibilities.”

Amongst others, mental images, the recognised international leader of rendering and 3D-modeling software based in Berlin, donates 10 licences for its main product: mental ray, which was also used in the recently shown movie ‘Poseidon’. This high-end software, which has received the US academy award, is used around the world to create special effects or digital movies of photorealistic quality.
