The River Elbe
Major European Rivers
Its catchment area is almost as large as 40 % of the surface area of Germany; it is 1.094 kilometres long: the River Elbe. In impressive nature pictures the multifaceted course of the Elbe from its source in the Giant Mountains to its estuary in the North Sea is shown. The division of the Elbe into its sections is just as precisely documented as its most important tributaries. In the first part of its upper reaches it flows in a wide arc through the Czech Republic, where it is called Labe. It cuts across impressive landscapes such as the Bohemian Switzerland and after the German border the Saxon Switzerland. During its course it flows through historically and culturally important cities. Dresden, with its famous monuments and bridges, is the first metropolis. Steeped in history, the cities of Meissen, Torgau und Wittenberg follow. Now the Elbe River follows the course of the glacial valleys. From Magdeburg its course runs towards Hamburg. The various facets of the seaport metropolis are illustrated. Eventually the film accompanies the River Elbe on its last section – to the North Sea until Cuxhaven. Together with the extensive additional material the DVD is ideally suited for use in the classroom.

Copyright
Copyright is subject to constant change to keep up with technological advances. This film enables the viewer to grasp the basic principles of this extremely intricate matter. By way of introduction, the film defines what an author is, what kinds of works there are and how long a work is protected on principle. Then the fundamental rights of an author are cited and it is shown how these are exploited in our times. In the third chapter, the respective rights are illustrated by way of practice-oriented examples of books, photos, music and films. Here, of course, an emphasis is laid on the field of education, taking into account the latest case law within the EU and Austria in particular. A further chapter highlights the problems arising with the Internet and goes into the citation law and pirate copies. All in all, in this way the viewer is made familiar with the most important basic terms and their meanings. Comprehensive worksheets and additional accompanying material invite us to deepen our knowledge of the subject.
