It is directed by Matthias Maasz within the frame of the Institute for Applied Research - IAF and should be closed again on June 30th, 2008. Aim of the survey is the quantitative acquisition and the detailed documentation of the practices applied in the production of motion pictures in the times of the "digital revolution".

1997 until 2007 are invited to participate. The German market released 3425 Motion Pictures originating in more than 80 countries in this period and could be considered kind of representative. The film database of the Entertainment Media Publishing GmbH in Munich, Germany has been taken as a basis for this poll.
