28 August 2009 Rob Buckley BFI events, Events, UK TV Post a comment

Time for our regular look at what TV’s on at the South Bank in London in October. Not a lot at all this month, but a couple of things at least, including a day looking at future trends in TV production.

  • 2nd: 360° TV and multi-platform production
    A panel of commissioners and new media producers discuss the process of 360° commissioning, its impact on programme genres and what the future holds.
  • 2nd: Online-only TV and the democratisation of TV production
    Using clips of shows created specifically for online consumption, this will examine how companies such as Current TV, Bebo and YouTube are showcasing the work of the public.
  • 4th: Preview: Murderland + Q&A
    A showing of episode 1 of ITV1’s three-part Rashomon-esque Murderland, starring Robbie Coltrane. Followed by a panel discussion and Q&A with writer David Pirie, director Catherine Morshead, producer Kate Croft and members of the cast.
