Shopstewards

Composed of television professionals from all corners of the world, the Shopstewards are a unique group whose task it is to select the best programmes from hundreds of entries and to arrange the conference screening schedule.

The name Shopsteward is taken from the vocabulary of the coal miners protests in the UK in the 1970s. The Shopstewards were the people who represented the workers on the factory floor to the workers union. Just like the Shopstewards in the UK, the INPUT Shopstewards have made the international selection with their colleagues "on the factory floors" around the world in mind. The challenges of TV makers like themselves. Their professional glance has been done as a service representing colleagues from all over the world - the delegates of the conference.
Shopstewards are appointed by the Board to edit the conference programme. They bring with them different perspectives, backgrounds and varied professional TV experiences.
