It is a large room where around twenty tables are scattered, at the Séries Mania Forum, reserved for professionals in the sector, on the sidelines of the international festival which was held in Lille from March 15 to 22.
Around, lively discussions between two or three people.
They are editors and producers.
In a “speed dating” style, some describe in a few minutes two books from their catalog that they have pre-selected, others listen and imagine if they could make an audiovisual adaptation.
This event, entitled “Shoot the book”, (literally “Film the book”) is initiated by the SCELF (Civil Society of French Language Publishers).
Organized for the first time at Séries Mania, it takes place during around fifteen events such as at the Cannes Film Festival, the Angoulême Festival or at Quais du Polar in Lyon, which will take place from April 5 to 7.
“The idea is to facilitate discussions between publishers and producers and accelerate the taking of options,” summarizes Nathalie Piaskowski, general director of the SCELF and the instigator of this meeting.
