Wonderful Things That Work
In a tough market, some projects still succeed - creatively, structurally, and financially. What makes this possible? How do creators, producers, and institutions navigate the shifting terrain and still deliver success, both artistically and in the market? What key ingredients are needed to build a brighter future for the next generation?
Part I: Creative Conversation
What does it take to sustain your creative voice today? Filmmakers Isabella Eklöf, Milad Alami, and Benedikt Erlingsson come together for a conversation on directing, writing and artistic integrity and the challenges of working in a changing industry.
Part II: Industry Conversation
Why do some series and films find large, and sometimes unexpected, audiences? A conversation exploring creative courage, innovation, and the paths to success in a shrinking market.
Anna Croneman (CEO, Swedish Film Institute), Henning Kamm (Executive Producer/Managing Director, REAL FILM, Unorthodox and KRANK: Berlin), Jimm Garbis (Producer, SF Studios, Co-Owner of Gambio Film) and Peter Carlton (Co-Owner and Senior Executive Producer, Warp Films, Adolescence and This is England). Moderated by Johanna Koljonen.
Part III: Nostradamus Closing Keynote
Johanna Koljonen, media analyst and Nostradamus report author, concludes TV Drama Vision with a keynote reflecting on, and challenging, the current audiovisual landscape.
“Wonderful Things That Work” are accessible for both TV Drama Vision and Nordic Film Market accredited.
The session is co-presented by Nostradamus partner German Films.
