Cinekid Conference: Live Action: where is the action?
Woensdag 23 oktober 10:00 – 18:00
MediaLab borrel: 18:00 – 20:00
A mind-blowing journey of the latest developments within the live action spectrum of children’s media and beyond. Foremost the question will be: where is the action? What are the ingredients for a successful remake of a children’s film or TV-series? How do you produce cross-media when it comes to live action? Première showcases and never-before screened images are discussed. What do children consider the best live action programmes or films and what are the do’s and don’ts in live action film and series scenario’s, all brought to you by award-winning and internationally acclaimed professionals. And of course last, but not least: what are the ingredients for a monster format hit? All this and much more…in only 1 day!
Afterwards there will be drinks in the highly acclaimed MediaLab. This is your chance to discover the child in you as you roam around the curated 1200m2 digital playground. With a drink in your hand you can enjoy more than 40 installations, games and apps!
