Book-to-Screen Masterclass
How do books find their way to the screen? Is a successful book the key to a successful film? What distinguishes a bestselling book from a good screenplay? How far can and should screenwriters stray from the book? How can the wit, charm and originality of the material be preserved? To what extent do book authors and filmmakers work together? What kind of books are film producers looking for? What role do book festivals and film festivals can play?
The program, from 3:30 to 6:30 PM at the Maison de la Poste (Maritime Room) in Tour & Taxis, includes:
- Masterclass with Mac Hawkins (Pragmatic Pictures), led by Niki Théron (Frankfurter Buchmesse)
- Panel discussion with Barbara Abel (writer and screenwriter), Maÿlis Vauterin and Delphine Clot (Matriochkas-Bureau Audiovisuel et Littéraire), Sophie Abellan (Grand Est Region), Niki Théron (Frankfurter Buchmesse), Karla Kutzner (Books at Berlinale), moderated by Morgane Batoz-Herges (MEDAA, Foire du Livre de Bruxelles)
- Networking cocktail sponsored by SACD
Important: The event will start with a B2B networking session, available by invitation only for authors, publishers, agencies, and production companies.
