10.15 - 10.45h Rose of Dolls: Where & How Webseries
A short guide through when and where web series started, when they became popular, where they are happening, and what the most important factors about different countries are. And last but not least: how do those series look like?

Meredith Burkholder: Digital Series - Inspiring Creativity in Germany and around the World

Technology and the internet have provided a wealth of opportunity for creativity, to tell stories which might not have been told. This creativity has even changed how we work on set, how we write, and of course how we view and consume series.

12.30 - 13.00h
Otessa Ghadar: The Wild West of Film – What’s Next?

Ten Years ago, Otessa Ghadar predicted the end of TV series as we know it. Now, she gives us an insight on how independent filmmaking developed in the web series world and where it can go from here.
