I’m currently working freelance for the Institut français in London.
I’m helping to promote Totally Serialized: French/Bristish TV Series Festival, 19-22 January 2011.
Here’s the blurb from the website:
From 19 to 22 January, the Institut français will hold its first ever French and British TV Series Festival. TV fanatics, enthusiasts and newcomers will be able to discover the cream of French and British TV series with the most amazing actors, screenwriters and directors in attendance. It’s time to get totally serialized!
The UK premiere of eagely awaited hit TV Show Borgia, attended by actor Mark Ryder, will kick off the festival. Other highlights include a very special premiere of the first episode of Inside Men, the new BBC One TV Drama, followed by a Q&A with writer Tony Basgallop, an exclusive screening of Shane Meadows’s This is England 88′ first episode, in the presence of members of the cast and all-night marathon of season 3 of Misfits with the cast also attending. Maverick French TV Shows such as Platane, with a Q&A with co-screenwriter Hafid F. Benamar and Hard, a comedy about the porn world are also lined-up.
Gangsters and cops will wrap up the festival on Sunday notably in Tony’s Revenge and the dark and gritty Braquo. A panel discussion on how to write a TV Show completes the programme, gathering majors screenwriters such as Frank Spotnitz (The X-Files), Paula Milne (Small Island, The Politician’s Wife), Anne Landois and Eric de Barahir (Spiral).
I’m currently looking for other tv bloggers to promote this event. Please get in touch if you’d like to get involved… you might get a free ticket or a boxset for your troubles!
