© Luka Soares		Two great German candidates have been selected for the 2025 ImpACT Lab, a series of exclusive workshops and group sessions, offering inside knowledge to foster international co-production opportunities: Katharina Mumper has been studying film production at the Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg. She spent an exchange semester in China at the Beijing Film Academy. Katharina was selected to further develop her tragicomedy feature HYPERBABY by Romina Küper. She is interested in exploring collaborations with production companies and building thriving partnerships. Sophia Stier focuses on international co-productions with empowering new narratives from marginalized and, above all, female perspectives in her work as a creative producer, writer and programmer. After studying film, completing several international shoots in Istanbul, Paris, the USA, and Rome, and graduating from Atelier Ludwigsburg Paris, she is currently developing several short and feature film projects as a freelance producer.
