TV SERIE COMPETITION

As an academic, I have been watching, reading and writing TV series for ten years. Participating in several festivals, and in particular the 2010 Cinéma Tous Ecrans, enabled me to discover series from all over the world.My first experience as a programmer reflects my penchant for crime and historical series (two genres explored throughout the world), my high quality standards (with British series such as The Hour and The Shadow Line, the hit HBO mini-series Mildred Pierce and the European megaproduction, Borgia), and my personal favorites in the foreign series category with Magnificent Century from Turkey and It Planet, from Estonia.
