Projects

7.10. - No way back

The personal story of Alon Gat is at the centre of this multimedia live ticker chronicle, which reconstructs his dramatic experiences through an exclusive series of short video interviews. The videos are supplemented by news texts that categorise the events with today’s knowledge.

The content of the project was published on BILD.de, BZ.de, WELT.de and the social accounts exactly one year after the events at the time.

Rap, Business, Women

In our three-part podcast feature Rap, Business, Women, we take a closer look at the role of women in the German rap industry. We shed light on the challenges, but also the opportunities they face. You’ll hear from female rappers such as Kitty Kat, Shoki and Lady Bitch Ray, who enrich the genre with their voices. But we also hear the perspectives of male colleagues such as Monet 192, the rap crew 01099 and NNOC – because the business is complex and multi-layered.

Heimspiel

The format “Heimspiel – Auf den Spuren unserer EM-Helden” was developed to mark the European Football Championship. It is a five-part video show and highlights five players from the German squad. The project is given an additional storytelling level by a specially developed augmented reality lens.

Reports of Resistance

The five-part video series shows journalists and activists who have been threatened and imprisoned for their commitment to justice. The team used AI to get better and faster results. The technology was used where it made sense in a journalistic context. 

Mind Stories

The vision behind Mind Stories is to provide a comprehensive insight into the complexity of mental health which at the moment is one of the most popular topics on social media. To deliver our content, we produced smart and informative video content supported by Snapchat’s AR lenses.

Berlin 2033

In the next ten years, Berlin will face significant challenges. However, many exciting developments are also on the horizon.
Will Berlin master these challenges, or will problems arise?
A team of journalists and tech talents from the FreeTech Academy dare to take a detailed look into the future of Berlins climate, art and fashion scene.

it's kosher habibi

We found that Jewish-Muslim friendships are not only possible, but that they exist in a wide variety of age groups and in a wide variety of forms. We met four pairs of friends and asked them what makes their friendship special and whether there is any truth to the prejudices against Jews and Muslims.
