Format Show is a unique event for our region’s market – for the first time all the major format prodcos and distributors will come to Kyiv at the same time and present their new product to the CIS region audience, just as we approach two other industry events this autumn.
This time Format Show will not only be in the form of screening, but it will also provide an update on all the hottest market trends straight from the horse's mouth and all in one place: market leaders, apart from presenting new formats, will deliver reports on the most interesting topics of the modern 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.
