The Goethe-Institut Äthiopien is excited to present Mini-INPUT 2024 Charleston - a curated selection of international TV productions from ten countries, drawn from the broader INPUT Charleston 2024 program, to all those interested in filmmaking, media, and the creative industries.
INPUT is a major annual event for public service media and independent filmmakers, showcasing the most unique and impactful TV programs of the past year. Through discussion and exchange of ideas, the INPUT conference challenges existing patterns of public service media and explore possibilities for innovative program production since its inception in 1977.
The Goethe-Institut has strongly supported the idea of public service television and INPUT, the annual International Public Television conference. Through its Mini-INPUT or Best-of-INPUT programs, the institute connects television professionals, filmmakers, and film students in Ethiopia with the global INPUT network.
This year’s official INPUT moderator for the Mini-INPUT is Sara Günther, a creative producer and comissioning editor at ZDF and ARD, Germany’s biggest public broadcasting service. Together with the National Coordinator for INPUT Ethiopia, Leul Shoaferaw, she will guide us through ten screening sessions with different genres, formats, and topics to share with you their experiences at INPUT Charleston. This will provide an opportunity for all attendees to contribute their perspectives on the productions screened, and to ask and share questions relevant to public service broadcasting in the current media landscape.
We warmly invite members of the Ethiopian film and broadcasting sectors, as well as film and media students, and anyone else interested to join us on 5. December from 9:30 am and on 6. December from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm at the Goethe-Institut for engaging discussions and valuable networking opportunities.
Interested participants are asked to send a brief email to Henrike.buch.extern@goethe.de to secure their spot in the programme.
