The issues of developing projects that will make up the future of content directed at children and young adults will be tackled during INSPIRATION DAY, a special event hosted by the Warsaw Kids Film Forum with the participation of Film New Europe and the backing of the Central European Initiative running from 25th to 27th September 2019.
Central Europe Initiative (CEI) and Film New Europe (FNE) event FNE INSPIRATION DAY will take place on 25th September 2019, stating with a discussion panel FORECASTING THE FUTURE FOR KIDS CONTENT - In TV and Digital SVoD hosted by David Kleeman. After an intro by David Kleeman and the Dubit Trends report, the session will ask the panel of speakers Richard Rowe (DHX) Luca Milano (RAI Ragazzi), Claire Tavernier (digital media adviser) and Maria Kosareva, Viacom (RU) for their perspectives. What do these forecasts mean for them regarding developing content for dedicated kids programs? Does it differ for business grounded in linear free-to-air vs. non-linear channels? What's next in terms of content and how to make a profit?
Following the presentation the participants will have a chance to explore NEW FRESH & EDGY KIDS TV PROGRAMMES in a series of case studies devoted to productions The Butterfly Effect, presented by Nadine Zwick-Pellet, (ARTE JUNIOR, France), Jams presented by Luca Milano ( RAI Ragazzi, Italy& Simona Ercolani, CEO and Creative Producer of Stand By Me, Italy) and Overgrep presented by Joakim Vedeler ( NRK Super, Norway).
Stine Bomholt-Hansen (Level K, Denmark) will share dos and don’ts in distribution with a special focus on kids content and Marie-Claude Beauchamp (Carpe Diem, Canada) will talk about the new realities of project development in the most technologically developed segment of the film industry in her presentation “DEVELOPLING AN IP 360° – from the idea to licensing and immersive experience”. The local content will be showcased by the SPPA – The Association of Polish Animation Producers.
Silke Wilfinger (SilkWay Films & Carlos Hertel, IMC Strategy & Bavaria Media GmbH, Germany) will lead a special production financing workshop “The Art of Finding & Making a Deal Workshop” (additional registration is required), followed by a presentation of the Black Mill, one of the newest Polish productions for the younger audience, a feature family film directed by Mariusz Palej, based on a bestselling novel and produced by TFP.
The day will wrap up with a screenwriting master class from Philip LaZebnik, a much lauded American screenwriter and producer.
