Eureka Series is an intensive 14-week, full-time training course for writers and producers of television drama series from all over Europe. Applications deadline extended to the 4th of June.
Delivered in partnership with La Fémis, it is an initiative created by the new Series Mania Institute to train professionals in the rapidly changing TV series industry.
Take part in Facebook LIVE Info Session! 5th of May, at 7 PM
Eureka Series will bring together 12 participants (6 writers and 6 producers) of various European nationalities. The programme is aimed at emerging TV series professionals, including, but not limited to, alumni of European film and television schools. They will benefit from the support of international teachers and professionals, thanks to our partnerships with schools such as ECAM (Spain), the Lodz Film School (Poland), IFS (Germany), Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia (Italy) and Westerdals (Norway).
Participants will receive lectures, workshops and masterclasses, and work on their own original projects. The course culminates in a two-week residency, at the end of which projects will be pitched to a jury of broadcasters, including France Télévisions, RAI (Italy) and ZDF (Germany), who collectively form The Alliance.
Objectives:
• To strengthen a common industry language and fluidify creative processes in Europe
• To exchange European know-how in the field of series production
• To facilitate cross-border collaborations within the framework of European co-production
Methods:
• Theoretical and practical courses on the structure, financing and production of European series
• Masterclasses for creators, showrunners, scriptwriters, directors, and producers of TV series from Europe and other regions
• Case studies of European series in the company of their creators
• Group work on future co-production projects
