NEXT HELSINKI SCRIPT: FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 6TH, 2019.

BOOK THE DATE!

In 2018 speakers from 12 countries shared visions and working methods with 500 delegates at Savoy Theater in Helsinki. The theme “spirituality” was strongly present, from Serbian-Swedish Tatjana Samopjan’s  lecture on writing beyond entertainment to Danish creator Adam Price’s  reflections on diving deep into spiritual themes. Israeli creator Keren Margalit showed how subject knowledge and dialogue focus bring depth. British writer Tony Grisoni built bridges between the real and the unreal, Finnish producer Ronja Salmi between social media and series and game director Kalle Kaivola between games and series writing. Swedish Lars Lundström, Danish Jeppe Gjervig Gram, Italian Barbara Petronio and Finnish Kirsi Porkka discussed  high end suspense from a creator’s pov.  “Authenticity” was a keyword in the session on “Skam” remakes. Italian creators, producers and commissioners showed how to combine truly domestic stories with Hollywood stardom.
