INPUT / … / … / Closing Session: One for the Road

For the last session of INPUT 2017 we have kept two projects that are encouraging examples for the liveliness, courage and inventiveness of our colleagues at the programme departments. Both projects override the usual broadcast routine, challenge their audience and themselves. For one day BTV in Spain handed over the newsroom to hundreds of youngsters between the ages of 8 and 14. And Swiss National TV SRF dedicates a 9-hour special to the fictional scenario of a long-lasting power failure comprising - not only Switzerland - but central Europe as a whole. Brodie Fenlon will talk with Stefano Semeria about Blackout and Will Pedigo will question the Spanish author and director Sergi Vicente.
