Plan your entries for the next edition of the IMZ newsletter: Submission deadline is Friday 18 December 2014 IMZ INTERNAL NEWS | 3 EDITORIAL

Dear Members and Friends,

The year 2014 was a very important, exciting and successful one for the IMZ International Music + Media Centre:

After 30 years we have moved the Avant Première Screenings from midem in Cannes to Berlin and founded our own and internationally unique trade-fair for performing arts films, the Avant Première Music + Media Market in Berlin.

Thanks to all dedicated IMZ members and friends who have contributed to this event it was a huge success, already in its first edition! We had the opportunity to welcome more than 320 participants from all over the world, started a cooperation with EFM/Berlinale and thereby strengthened the position of both performing arts films in the international film industry and the IMZ itself!

For successfully implementing joint projects, initiatives and events such as the video li- brary & special lecture at Classical:NEXT, the International Emmy® Awards Semi-Final Judging, a special IMZ session at the IAMA Media Day, the Film Festival at Wiener Rathausplatz, open air made-to-measure music film festivals for the general public in Brno, Yekaterinburg and Curitiba, industry film screenings and the 2nd edition of the IMZ Academy at ITF Golden Prague Festival, the IMZ World Music Film Screenings at WOMEX, a lively exchange with Europa at their Autumn Conference in Brno and many more – it takes trustworthy and valuable cooperation partners, to whom we owe a debt of gratitude, our sincere thanks for having once again made an important contribution to promoting and fostering the cause of the IMZ.

If not for their support as well as the support of all our IMZ members, the IMZ could not look back on such a successful year that has led us into a new era. Therefore, on be- half of the IMZ board members and our creative and hard-working IMZ team in Vienna: Thank you for another wonderful year!

As for now, we are preparing and heading for the 2nd and even larger edition of Avant Première Music + Media Market Berlin 2015, with an extended programme from Avant Première Screenings presenting the latest 550 programmes of 70 companies worldwide to panel discussions tackling industry relevant topics or a special presenta- tion by Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institut presenting TIME Lab to the public. Last but not least we are proud to welcome big names of the scene to Avant Première’s Special Screenings: tenor Placido Domingo, conductor and stage director Phillipp Stölzl as well as the 2Cellos Luka Šulić and Stjepan Hauser will be presenting their latest films in person.

Therefore we are already looking forward to seeing you at Avant Première Music + Media Market Berlin 2015 and at one or the other interesting IMZ event in the upcoming year!

Best wishes,

Arild Erikstad IMZ President

On 15 November, Brazil’s Proclamation of the Republic holiday, the International Film Festival at the Curitiba Biennial – FICBIC celebrated with a more than special screening: the opera , conducted by Andris Nel- sons. In partnership with both, the Austrian Embassy and the IMZ, FICBIC promoted the first ever outdoor Opera screening in Curitiba.

The screening took place at Cyclist Square, located right in the heart of the city and second home to an alternative crowd, always inclined to new experiences. Carmen also attracted to the Square opera fans and students of mu- sic from all over the city. About a hundred people were expected to show up, but due to the cold weather, few of them saw the screening until the end. Those who did, of course, were mesmerized and are hoping to see more opera shows in the next editions of the Festival…
