Life inside the EFM booths
It is located in the modern center of Berlin (Potsdamer Platz), a jumble of polygonal glass buildings that look like truncated versions of the skyscrapers in 1980s science fiction films. Number 11 of the Platz, a rising triangle of glass cuts right into Stressemann Strasse traffic.
Each movie seller (can be a production company for example) has a booth in the EFM and the glass skeleton of Number 11 contains a portion of those booths on the fourth and fifth floors. All day long, buyers (of their country’s distribution rights) and service sellers (legal protection, market research etc…) pop in, discuss deals and then pop in a few more times to continue discussing them, until a deal memo is signed. Most of them ask to see clips of the movie that is being sold.
Interior decoration specifics:
The carpeting is grey
Tall windows rise like their stained glass counterparts in cathedrals
A meter wide screen squats in the corner
Grey telephone, fax machine and black tables and chairs which can be added or substracted from.
On the side of the elevators are two drink refrigerators, they contain floor after floor of low calorie flavored drinks from this sponsor brand. I forgot the name, but I can tell you which is the all time favorite flavor (judging by the relative emptyness of that level in the early afternoon). It is granat-rosen. It tastes nothing like Granat (whatever that is) or Roses, probably something in between.
