International Public Television Screening Conference - INPUT 2010 May 7, 2010

INPUT is dedicated to the proposition that television should be public service in the public interest. That access to the most honest, innovative, provocative, courageous and challenging broadcasting is a universal fundamental human right.

INPUT has organised international television’s most important and influential annual screening conference for more than 25 years. This unique event — held in a different country each year — encourages the development of public service television by screening and debating the most outstanding programmes from around the world.

It also organises many other activities throughout the year in dozens of countries. In doing so, INPUT provides a unique professional development opportunity for producers, directors, writers and all those — including independent producers — who contribute to public television throughout the world.

INPUT exists to encourage the highest quality television programming worldwide; to support television as a service to the public; to promote discussion and debate about the television craft; and to serve as a global meeting point for those who make television.

It recognizes TV’s potential to promote better understanding among the world’s different cultures.

INPUT 2010 – Call for Submissions

Magyar Television (MTV) will organise the 2010 Conference which will be held from 8 to 12 May 2010 in the former Ganz Train Factory, now called “Millenáris” which opened in 2001 as a complex compromising exhibition- and concert spaces, museums and public areas.

The International Public Television Screening Conference (INPUT) is now accepting submissions for INPUT 2010 – Budapest, Hungary.

The process of submitting productions for INPUT is open from October 2009 till 15 January 2010.

INPUT challenges the set-laws of broadcasting and is looking for programmes that reflect this. Selected productions will be screened during the 2010 Conference in Budapest, Hungary. INPUT is a public TV Conference, not a festival or a competition. Programmes that challenge the norms of broadcasting form the core of an INPUT Conference.
