Event film for the DAB Digitalforum 2025 One perfect evening. Media impact for weeks.

This was our second time with the Digitalforum: 2024 at Hotel Oderberger, with more than 200 people from Berlin's digitalization landscape, 2025 at the Forum Digitale Technologien, directly below the DAB office. Before the evening we went through the room with the DAB team: light, sound pickup from the stage, walking routes, press wall. We had named the challenge together early on: a place full of glass, concrete and technology, an evening full of encounters. The film had to show both.

On 8 October the camera ran from accreditation through to networking. In between: the video message from the senator, the moment managing director Nicole Voigt puts the Digitalisierungsnavigator live, the live hacking show and the tour of the AI demonstrators. Since that evening the Navigator has been showing Berlin companies suitable software and ideas for their own digitalization at navigator.digitalagentur.berlin. Gabriela Filipovic photographed in parallel, and her 100 finished images reached the team two days after the event.

In the edit, Torben Loth worked the feedback in straight from the Vimeo comments, and within a week the film was final and went into DAB's recap of the evening. The nicest change request came for the 9:16 version: as many of the team as possible should be visible at the end. We swapped the closing scene. Because that is exactly what this film tells: the Digitalforum is teamwork.
