"Der Häftling des Monats" turns out to be the first short film in the world which was shot on the High-Def prototype camera by ARRI mentioned above. The production is aimed at publication on the German pay TV "13th Street" (broadcasting date still due to be announced) as well as it's aimed to be sold to the German TV-Channels "ARTE" and "3-SAT"; for the whole of the studio shoot the crew was allowed to re-use the originally built set of the previous production by "Bavaria-Films" called "The Perfume" (starring Dustin Hoffmann). As "The Prisoner of the Month" the film was also screened at the Portobello Film Festival 2007 and there is still a website for the film online featuring a 30 sec. "Teaser"/"Trailer" (to be found in the "links" section). |
