The understanding reached during the course of the ninety-minute meeting cleared the way for the Europe-wide killing of six million Jews. The article sets out to answer the principal challenge facing anyone attempting to recreate the Wannsee Conference on film: what was the atmosphere of this conference and the attitude of the participants? Moreover, it discusses various ethical aspects related to the portrayal of evil, not in actions but in words, using the medium of film. In doing so, it focuses on the BBC/HBO television film Conspiracy (2001), directed by Frank Pierson, probing its historical accuracy and discussing its artistic credibility.}, language = {en} } @article{RamanVenkatesanGulyakovaGerhard2020, author = {Raman Venkatesan, Thulasinath and Gulyakova, Anna A. and Gerhard, Reimund}, title = {Influence of film stretching on crystalline phases and dielectric properties of a 70/30 mol\% poly(vinylidenefluoride-tetrafluoroethylene) copolymer}, series = {Journal of advanced dielectrics}, volume = {10}, journal = {Journal of advanced dielectrics}, number = {5}, publisher = {World Scientific}, address = {Singapore}, issn = {2010-135X}, doi = {10.1142/S2010135X2050023X}, pages = {10}, year = {2020}, abstract = {Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)-based copolymers with tetrafluoroethylene (P(VDF-TFE)), trifluoroethylene (P(VDF-TrFE)) or hexafluoropropylene (P(VDF-HFP)) are of strong interest due to the underlying fundamental mechanisms and the potential ferro-, pyro- and piezo-electrical applications. Their flexibility and their adaptability to various shapes are advantageous in comparison to inorganic ferroelectrics. Here, we study the influence of stretching temperature on the crystalline phases and the dielectric properties in P(VDF-TFE) films by means of Dielectric Relaxation Spectroscopy (DRS), Fourier-Transform InfraRed spectroscopy (FTIR), Wide-Angle X-ray Diffraction (WAXD), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA). Especially, the effect of stretching and the influence of the temperature of stretching on the mid-temperature (T-mid) transition are studied in detail. The results show that stretching has a similar effect as that on PVDF, and we observe an increase in the fraction of ferroelectric beta-phase with a simultaneous increment in both melting point (T-m) and crystallinity (chi(c)) of the copolymer. While an increase in the stretching temperature does not have a profound impact on the amount of ferroelectric phase, the stability of the ferroelectric phase seems to improve - as seen in the reduction of the Full Width at Half Maximum (FWHM) of the WAXD peaks in both parallel and perpendicular directions to the molecular chain axis. The observation is also supported by the reduction of dissipation losses with an increase in stretching temperature - as seen in DRS measurements. Finally, both stretching itself and the temperature of stretching affect the various molecular processes taking place in the temperature range of the T-mid transition.}, language = {en} } @article{SchulzEderTiberiusetal.2021, author = {Schulz, Anne and Eder, Amelie and Tiberius, Victor and Solorio, Samantha Casas and Fabro, Manuela and Brehmer, Nataliia}, title = {The digitalization of motion picture production and its value chain implications}, series = {Journalism and media}, volume = {2}, journal = {Journalism and media}, number = {3}, publisher = {MPDI}, address = {Basel}, issn = {2673-5172}, doi = {10.3390/journalmedia2030024}, pages = {397 -- 416}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Technological change and development have been ongoing in the motion picture industry since its beginnings some 125 years ago. What further advancements of digitalization can be expected over the next decade and what are its implications for the industry's value chain? To answer this question, we conducted an international two-stage Delphi study. The results suggested a more frequent use of smartphones as cameras, the emergence of full digital film sets and digital star avatars, as well as advancements in VR-based and interactive movies. The findings imply challenges for traditional players in the motion picture value chain. Production technology becomes both simpler and more complex, leading to the threat of new entrants.}, language = {en} }
