Furthermore, Nicola Söderlund, the president of Sparks Network, will deliver report entitled ‘World TV Industry. Is there a place for Ukraine in it?’; Axel Böhm from SevenOneInternational will talk about hybrid (cross-genre) formats and give examples from different countries; Tim Crescenti, the president of Small World IFT, will share his experience of searching for formats from untraditional regions and taking them into international market, and will advise on how to use this experience with regard to Ukraine; while Timur Weinstein, general producer of WeiT Media, will help to understand if the adaptations boom in our market is accidental or if it’s a logical result of the market development. And even more: special reports will be delivered by other eminent industry players, like Marina Williams (Endemol), Naomi Koh (Zodiak), Anne Kirsipuu (FremantleMedia).
