396 series viewed, 96 selected… The 5th edition of Mania Series opens Friday, March 17 with the preview of the new series by Cédric Klapisch, Greek salad, produced by Prime Video.
The festival – completely free – is structured around several sections: the international competition with only previews, including The Power, a new Paramount+ series; a French competition with, in particular, Hinny by Daniele and Christopher Thompson; an international panorama and new seasons including HPI And Succession, in the presence of his actors.
If the number of series watched does not increase according to the number of series produced each year, Mania Series tries to open up to new territories every year, like Iran this year.
The festival also receives a greater number of French series. He has also created around him several additional structures such as a forum, which brings together a large number of professionals during the festival, and an institute to support the training of young students in writing and the production of series.
Laurence Herzberg, CEO of Mania Seriesanswers questions from Laurent Valière.
Series Mania takes place from March 17 to 25 in Lille and is completely free and accessible to the general public.
