The weekend is shaping up to be packed with content that will lighten the dark skies of the economic landscape. Recessions can be times of innovation and National Geographic Channel have chosen to enter into a new venture!
Come along to hear Mark Wild, newly appointed Director of International Development who will work out of London, explain an exciting new direction that strives to bring non-US producers into the Nat Geo US Channel fold.
Elaine Frontain Byrant, Director of Nonfiction and Alternative programming, will join a panel of commissioning editors to giveus a behind the scenes look at what’s happening in Television around the world.
Portal Video from Boston will present an innovative way to save time and money in the rough cut process and a panel devoted to CGI will open a whole new vista of possibilities for incorporating animation into documentary.
Waltz With Bashir did it exquisitely. And at this campus they will present a case study of the project. Charlotte Uzu the producer from Films d’Ici will be on hand to explain how they persuaded ARTE to back the project. Not easy, as it was the first project for an animated documentary on a deadly serious subject. It’s all about perseverance, and a really talented film-maker, Ari Folman.
