Robert Cibis and Lilian Franck’s careers began in 1998 after their film studies in Paris.
They united around storytelling - showing people something new and challenging the commonplace. But it was a hard fight to win people over to innovative projects. The two found that both investors and audiences had to be coaxed away from familiar terrain and that each project had to find an individually tailored solution.
New insights and vantage points also help meet social challenges. After producing a great many documentaries for television, the OVALmedia team had the idea of accompanying their projects from concept to release. In 2018, OVALmedia for the first time coordinated the distribution of their film Free Lunch Society, which advocates the introduction of an unconditional basic income and ponders how this idea can be implemented. On February 1, 2018 the film was screened simultaneously in 100 cinemas followed by 100 discussions throughout Germany, while at the same time 11 basic incomes for one-year were raffled off. The discussion around the topic was spread widely through TV and other media. And OVALmedia followed this up with animated films on the subject for the internet.
Digitalisation has accelerated the processes that have existed since the dawn of humanity has. The same figures, topics and references that have always been with us have been taken up on different media and communicated through various channels in the form of photos, films, speech and written text. Digitalisation has expanded storytelling possibilities. A greater advantage exists in the ability to coordinate the distribution of media communications and to garner feedback from audiences/visitors/users/readers during the production process. Fewer and fewer perspectives are dominating an increasingly small world. We want to show new points of view in order to leave the horizon broad and open.
