Top marks under difficult conditions
The “SUITCEYES documentary” is the impressive result of a project work by Mübeyra Erkuş, Nico Levicki, Pascal Hoffmann and Tim Wenz in the Department of Media at Offenburg University under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Oliver Korn and Prof. Sabine Burg de Sousa Ferreira. The film was created throughout the summer term and under strict Corona regulations – including a flight to a partner in Sweden. Prof. Oliver Korn is extremely pleased with the result, which has now been published and can be watched on YouTube: “I am very impressed by the professional work of our media students. Under difficult circumstances, they have managed to document a complex international research project in a straightforward and touching way.”
