Technological innovations and new aesthetic concepts have effectively transformed cinema and television in the last years. Furthermore, the establishment of new platforms in the new media matrix of internet, games or also mobile entertainment pose new challenges with regard to storytelling, the special look and feel of programmes, as well as to marketing and programming strategies. The Cologne Conference invites innovative and visionary creatives and managers to present new productions, and speak about the television of the future.
