Eurovision Fiction Experts 2010: A revamped agenda
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
A revamped agenda
The program group prepared a very appealing programme for you this year. Please have a look at the full agenda.
Highlight on:
Creating blockbuster worlds : the value of content for all platforms, with Jeff Gomez, CEO of StarlightRunner Entertainment.
What happens to television fiction when the cinema viewer experiences “Avatar” and plays the online game athome? How is this heritage of tomorrow created today for all possible platforms?
As CEO of Starlight Runner Entertainment, an animation and live-action feature film production company and leading creator of highly successful fictional worlds, Jeff Gomez transforms intellectual properties into highly successful (transmedia) franchises. He also extends niche properties such as toys, animation or videogame titles across multiple platforms, evolving them into high quality persistent narratives, which in turn generate multiple revenue streams for his clients.
Jeff has worked on such blockbuster fiction universes as Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean, Prince of Persia and Tron, Microsoft’s Halo, James Cameron’s Avatar, Hasbro’s Transformers and, Mattel’s Hot Wheels and Coca-Cola’s Happiness Factory.

 10.02.2010 / Vous pouvez dès à présent vous inscrire en ligne pour participer au prochain Sommet Eurovision TV!
The Eurovision TV Summit has become the world’s leading event for Public Service Media providing unique opportunities for networking and inspiring informative meetings and conferences. The Summit in 2009 proved to be an overwhelming success with attendance figures 25% up on the previous year making a total of nearly 700 decision-makers and contributors to European public service TV present despite the financial downturn.
A main feature of the Summit is the Common Focus Day which will feature the “movers and shakers” in the television world for the days’ theme: e-Motion
Television is at its best when emotions are involved. Effective television production is the craftsmanship in bringing the desired emotion to the audience. e-Motion will deal also with the e part of the word, as in electronic or e-mail opening presentations on the latest technology and trends within crossmedia.
