NEW FRONTIERS IN ARCHIVAL FOOTAGE

Despite reports of its early demise, archive footage is not dead! Although

some broadcast networks have said goodbye to the use of archive footage,

there are still many ways to make this material compelling, exciting and

impactful to audiences. By incorporating clever storytelling techniques with

previously unknown footage, the use of archive material, whether it be

footage, audio or stills, can combine to create programming that rivals the

best narratives on television. Tom Jennings, Executive Producer and

Founder of 1895 Films, will talk about how that's done, provide case studies

from his own recent, award-winning work, and discuss the future of images

from the past.

THE FACTUAL CASE STUDY: Girlfri3nds

In partnership with KESHET INTERNATIONAL

Three gorgeous single women, in different ages with different life

experiences and backgrounds, come together for a common goal – to

find true love. For three months they will share their lives, go on dates

together and support one another as they embark on their journey.

They will start their journey by auditioning hundreds of men of which

they'll have to decide, who is worth dating and who is not. From that

point on, they will size down the options in five different stages. And

they will go through it all, together! But like in real life, the decision

always has to be mutual – at every stage both sides will need to have a

desire to continue dating. After hundreds of auditions and dozens of

dates final decisions will have to be made…Will they find the one?
