Side-events
On March 27, we welcomed Oliver Hagel, DI Pro & B2B Manager from Sony and Mike Suminski as part of our first side event “Hands on Sony FX3”.
At our workshop, 20 participants had the opportunity to test the Sony FX3 camera and the new ULT WEAR headphones. In addition to a presentation of the camera, the participants had the opportunity to try out their creativity for three hours, make their own film recordings and take part in the #SonyVideoStudentContest2024 competition.
We would like to thank all participants as well as Oliver Hagel and Mike Suminski for their cooperation.
On May 14, the “MFMW - Ideas Competition” took place in cooperation with Janus Productions at Mittweida University of Applied Sciences. Students at our university had the opportunity to submit an innovative concept for a new television format as part of the 2025 federal elections - and earn prize money of up to €1000.
Sebastian von Wurmb-Seibel and Florian Falkenstein visited us as representatives to review our students' ideas.
We would like to thank all participants and Janus Productions for their cooperation.
On Tuesday evening, May 14, 2024, our third side event “MFMW - International Night” took place. On the sun deck of the Center for Media and Social Work, our visitors were able to enjoy presentations and videos about semesters abroad in the USA, Jordan, Peru, China, Spain and South Korea.
The evening was accompanied by the International Office, which is the contact for stays abroad at Mittweida University of Applied Sciences. In addition, Prof. Volker Tolkmitt, Rector of Mittweida University of Applied Sciences, and Prof. Christoph Meyer, Vice-Rector for Education, gave a speech on the topic of democracy and openness to the world. This was followed by an opportunity to talk to other students who have already had experience abroad.
We would like to thank everyone for their attendance and the stimulating discussions.
An inspiring evening dedicated to space travel!
On May 15, we held our fourth side event as part of International Week, the “MFMW - CineNight”. Space enthusiasts gathered at the Filmbühne Mittweida to watch the documentary “Der Mann, der nie im All war” together.
The film tells the fascinating story of Tassilo Römisch, a passionate collector of space exhibits whose collection comprises over 100,000 items. His experiences and dedication to space travel, from rocket launches to the anecdote about the impressive rocket engine in the Mittweida canteen, captivated everyone.
A special highlight of the evening was the visit from Tassilo Römisch himself. He shared his impressions of the film and gave exciting insights into the current state of space travel. In the Q&A session that followed, he enthusiastically answered every question from the participants.
Many thanks to everyone who made this evening so special. We look forward to many more inspiring events!

As an artist, how do you properly showcase your own identity? What is important in social media marketing and what values define an artist?
Almost two weeks ago, we welcomed Alexandra “Ally” Viehweg and Anne Charlott Brantin to our sixth side event “MFMW - Musikkiosk Mittweida”.
Ally Viehweg has over ten years of professional experience as a producer and has a wealth of knowledge about the music industry. Anne Brantin works as a content creator at the Berlin social media agency charles & charlotte, which has already worked with partners such as Nikon Europe, Jack Wolfskin and MiXery.
In the “Artist Identity” workshop, Ally Viehweg showed how musicians can clearly define and authentically market their artistic personality. Anne Brantin led the second workshop and offered participants the opportunity to produce and directly analyze creative social media content.
“MFMW - Musikkiosk Mittweida” was created in collaboration with KREATIVES SACHSEN, POP IMPULS and the Mittweida University of Applied Sciences.
“What is it like to come back to Mittweida?”, “What are your goals for the future?” or “What hurdles do you face in your day-to-day work?”.
Our speakers answered these and other questions at our seventh side event “MFMW - WHAT'S NEXT?”. Our guests were Anne Charlott Brantin, Content Creator at charles & charlotte - we're hiring!, Anny Adler, Editor, Reporter & Author at LSO - Landesstudio Ost GmbH and Felix Aue, Creative Producer.
As part of our talk, they spoke about their personal paths after graduating from Mittweida University of Applied Sciences. In addition to insights from their everyday working lives, our speakers also shared valuable tips for the future. Many thanks also go to Ottilie Wied and Luc Gedeon Hoffmann for hosting the evening.
We would like to thank everyone involved and look forward to welcoming our guests again on November 18 & 19 for the main event of the Medienforum Mittweida 2024.
