(LOST) QUEERNESS IN SERIES – Queer content in drama series

Thu, 06.06.24 / 14:45 - 15:45
Cinenova / Theatre 2
Tessa Hart, Sophya Kallista Frohberg, Marco Kreuzpaintner, Daf James, Bernd von Fehrn, Christoph Pellander

In terms of inclusive storytelling, Germany is lagging behind internationally. But Queerness is part of the diversity spectrum. That's why we want to discuss the following questions with a panel of prominent figures:

Why does queer storytelling succeed so much more relaxed and casually in other European or international series formats? How can queer visibility succeed without immediately being labeled as a “niche product”? How can a queer series be marketed to appeal to as many people as possible and how much mainstream is there in queer content? And: When is a series even queer?

Panelists: tba shortly

Moderation: Tessa Hart (all pronouns), culture maker

Presented by Warner Bros. Discovery and Warner Bros. ITVP Germany in cooperation with Queer Media Society
