Selection Results - INPUT 2010

Over seven days, the twelve Shopstewards watched and discussed over 270 programmes in Hilversum - The Netherlands, hosted by the Dutch NPO.
These 270 productions were all submitted by the National Coordinators in hard and dedicated work, to form the basis of the conference which will be held in Budapest from 8 - 12 May 2010.

Of these 270 programmes, the conference schedule has been put together with 80 productions. The schedule reflects what TV makers from around the world are currently confronted with. Not only content wise, but for INPUT more important; the craft of  TV-making.

Some of the issues that were clearly evident: Independence, being creative in a budget crisis, finding new audiences, managing to think and create in different media, giving a voice to minorities, or showing an unslanted picture of globalization, entertainment for local audiences with a global impact (and vice versa)  and simply making good Television programmes.

INPUT is a conference about making television. The selected programmes show this clearly, more than 40% of the conference programme consists of TV Specifics (game shows, magazine programmes, service programmes etc.).
Three sessions will be devoted to fiction this year. Several programmes clearly tackled difficult issues for "fictioneers": Brave new storytelling techniques and several surprising production decisions that make and break TV Fiction will be shown in this year's conference.
Documentaries that have been taken into the programme this year typically tackle a specific broadcasting related issues that are of importance to a broad TV making audience.

Also remarkable this year: Productions that use the Internet in a way which goes over and above a mere distribution platform. Productions that use the media specifics of the Emerging Media are ground breaking for what Public Service Television might be in future.
