THIS 2021 - FULL PROGRAMME FILLED TO THE BRIM WITH CRUSIAL INSIGHTS AND GREAT EXPERIENCES 🧠

THIS is the place to be, and with a ticket to THIS 2021 you join the biggest media industry meeting of the Nordic countries that specifically - but not exclusively - focuses on the field of fiction and collects the most current content in a three-day-long programme and culminates in Denmark’s biggest series award show.

DON'T MISS OUT - ENSURE YOUR SEATS ➡️
www.thisaarhus.com/this-tickets/

THIS examines the future of digital storytelling and focuses on how societal changes and cultural movements impact the stories we need to tell now and moving forward if we want to stay relevant. THIS gives you ‘the crucials' that you as a brand, storyteller, or creative organization need to know in order to stay in touch with your audience.

How you ask? Just to name a few examples 👇

HOW TO MAKE IT IN AMERICA 🇺🇸
THIS is a global window into Nordic creativity and narrativity. Audiences all over the world demand creative, innovative and immersive content and the creative visual industry has to navigate in a market where new formats and cross-media productions are rapidly developing. Especially in the US where huge streaming and gaming platforms are scouting for productions that can capture and retain the audience. The big questions are: How do you communicate your content, your productions and your business strategy to attract American audiences, platforms and investors? ‘The New Pioneer and US Demand for Creative Content’ is held on October 28 at THIS CONFERENCE in collaboration with The Danish Trade Council in New York and seeks to answer how film, series and game creators can attract American viewers, platforms and investors.

GENERATION Z IS THE THEME OF THE YEAR 💡
‘WOKE is a Future Condition, Not a Choice’ is the title of the opening panel debate hosted by Katrine K. Pedersen from Loopland. It gathers Sanne Juncker Pedersen, Leader of Publikum Tættere på (Closer to the Audience), The Danish Film Institute, Prince Henry, Activist and Public Debater, Mino Danmark, David Brorson Finch, Executive Producer, DR Drama, and Nicklas Larsen, Head of Arts and Culture, Copenhagen Institute for Future Studies. They will zoom in on the term and phenomenon ‘woke’, contextualized by movements as #FreeBritney, Occupy Wall Street, #MeToo, Black Lives Matter and Skolstrejk för klimatet which are all driving forces in the cultural revolution that we are experiencing right now.

To answer this question, they will host a panel discussion with Richard Lorber from Kino Lorber, Mark Laursen from

🕹 What if the use of crypto currencies in games not only presents game developers but also their main target group - paying customers - with new opportunities that have the potential of changing the monetization of games as we know it? This is the argument of Mark Laursen and Joris Huijbregts, founders of Bright Star Studios in their session at THIS GAME.

🎥 Meet the Nordic Film Institutes, who will discuss the future of Nordic content.

THIS WEEK'S PROGRAM NEWS 📣📣

How do we mobilize our collective minds?
And how do you embark on the controversial task of deciding on a truth regarding something that has engaged almost every citizen in your country?

Ensure your seats for THIS SERIES AWARDS NOW 🚨
👉 www.thisaarhus.com/track/this-series-awards/

Read about this week’s program news below 👇

In the opening session at THIS CONFERENCE on October 28, we zoom in on audiences, engagement, future stories and strategies. We are in a decade of counter-cultures, digital movements and actions against inequality and abuse of power marked by movements like MeToo, Black Lives Matter, Skolstrejk för klimatet etc., which have been driving forces in the push for the next cultural shift. This panel discussion will be hosted by Katrine K. Pedersen, Loopland, specialist and consultant in digital culture and changes strategies.

The Unlikely Murderer story is based on Thomas Pettersson’s book of the same title published in 2018. This year, the story will be revived in a five part limited series on Netflix, however, no longer as a mystery but instead as a case with a clear theory. This session at THIS SERIES on October 29, will host scriptwriters Wilhelm Berhman and Niklas Rockström in conversation about the controversial task of deciding on a truth and consequently, the dilemma that arises from enganging with something that almost every Swedish citizen has an opinion about.

Collective intelligence is nothing new. It's a phenomenon characterized by the notion that we’re smarter together. Today, however, thanks to the rise of modern technology and hyper-connectivity, our creativity, knowledge, and ability to predict are suddenly (and literally) right at our fingertips. Meet Mik Thobo-Carlsen at THIS CONFERENCE on October 28, Co-Founder & Managing Director at Mindpool, who talk about how we can mobilize our collective minds.
