Roland Emmerich is a master of the staged catastrophe: German-born Emmerich has made his mark on Hollywood’s sci-fi-world with such films as INDEPENDENCE DAY (1996), GODZILLA (1998) and THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW (2004). He has been a screenwriter and director of blockbuster movies for more than 40 years now – and he’s not finished yet at all. In Emmerich’s Masters session, we discover how he went from the HFF Munich – where he shot his debut DAS ARCHE NOAH PRINZIP (1984) – to Los Angeles, and hear first-hand about the challenges of his career.
