Fantastic and genre-related series are thriving and conquering the various distribution platforms aimed at mainstream audiences.

 

But how does it work? How does one create the narrative of a nationally or even internationally successful series? What heritage does the great tradition of genre cinema provide, and which perspectives are offered by new communication technologies?

 

The symposium of this afternoon will put internationally successful productions such as Game of Thrones, Sherlock and Metal Hurlant Chronicles into perspective with current projects in Switzerland. By presenting the state of the art in terms of TV shows, the two panels offer their participants the unique opportunity to exchange knowledge with some specialist in this field.
