Remembering for the future

“Remembering for the future” was the title of the ceremony held at the Festspielhaus St. Pölten to mark Europe Day. The event commemorated the important years of 1945, 1955, 1995 and 2005 – the end of the Second World War, the signing of the Austrian State Treaty and Austria’s accession to the European Union.

On behalf of the agency Media Contacta and in close cooperation with the team at the Festspielhaus St. Pölten, AV-Professional planned and realised the media technology for the event. In order to make the ceremony accessible to the general public, the event was broadcast on ORF Lower Austria under the direction of Bernhard Hieger. The technology and expertise of AV-Professional was also utilised here.

A technical highlight was definitely the remote camera slider, which was positioned at the edge of the stage and provided dynamic images of the dialogue situation as well as audience shots.
