Knowledge / Network / Exchange
The future of the media industry is collaborative.
At Das Kollaborativ we ask how we want to work together and tell stories in the future. We create event formats, networking, workshops, and room for experiment and creativity. Our activites all share one goal: to make tomorrow's media industry better. Das Kollaborativ is a nonprofit organization based in Potsdam and is a subsidiary of the production company Arkanum Pictures GmbH & Co. KG.
Anyone who wants to help shape tomorrow's media industry will find formats here that set out to do exactly that.
Das Kollaborativ is not waiting for that future to arrive on its own. Format by format, it works towards answers — in public, together, in exchange with an entire industry.
Rather than talking about the industry's transformation, Das Kollaborativ helps shape it. In formats that test what collaboration can mean today, and what it might mean tomorrow.
Knowledge. Network. Exchange.
Our principles.

01 / Knowledge
Spaces for experiment and for building knowledge, expertise and shared creativity.
We run workshops in which methods for story development take shape, panels in which hands-on experience is passed on, and experimental formats in which teams from film, games and immersive media build concepts together under time pressure. Every format is evaluated for what works.
02 / Network
Connections that outlast the single event.
A network is not built in one evening. It grows when people meet again and again — at a jam, a panel, a gathering for emerging talent — and build something together that reaches beyond the individual event.


03 / Exchange
Making the media industry more permeable, inside and out.
Between the departments of a production just as much as between film, games and immersive media. Experience and methods travel to where they are needed instead of staying within their own circles.
