Beskrivelse

The Royal Television Society and the University of South Wales Television production is now a global industry and success on the world stage can help sustain domestic output. The success of Nordic Noir in the UK, with series such as The Killing, Borgen, and The Bridge has challenged earlier thinking in the TV industry that English speaking audiences will not welcome content in other languages and from other national contexts. The journey taken by Y Gwyll/Hinterland, from S4C to BBC Wales, BBC 4, DR Denmark and Netflix shows how the television ecology allows minority-language content to travel internationally while also serving the needs of audiences at home. But how do producers develop programmes and series for international markets? What are the opportunities? What are the challenges they face? In this joint discussion event, held by the RTS Wales Centre, in partnership with the Centre for Media and Culture in Small Nations (University of South Wales), Anne Rudbæk (SF Film Productions) and Eva Novrup Redvall (University of Copenhagen) explain how producers in Denmark have met and overcome these challenges. The discussion will also include clips from a new series currently in production. The event forms part of an Arts & Humanities Research Council network lead by the Centre for Media and Culture in Small Nations in Wales and by Aarhus University in Denmark. Project partners include the European Broadcasting Union, S4C and TG4.
