CURRENT Coproductions: P.S. or
MADE BY YOUTH. ABOUT YOUTH. FOR YOUTH
Short Description
In the last three years SVT has produced 70 short videodiaries
under the title of P.S. It is a series that depict the everyday
life of young people – for young people, by young people. The P.S.
programmes are shot on DV by the 13-18 years old participants. The
films are always about something in their own lives, and in spite
of rough edition by SVT producers, the young filmmakers have final
cut and can decide what material will be shown and not. The P.S.
series has turned out to be a great success and has given a unique
insight in Swedish teenagers lives.
SVT is proposing an international series based on the P.S. format.
The production model is based on the idea that many countries agree
on the format and produce a number of episodes, of which the best
are exchanged with the others.
Form of cooperation
At least six countries participate, each country makes 10 films
a year and sends the five best to the others. That gives each participant
35 films for the price of ten. Besides it will give the series an
international outlook and a more varied series.
Latest development
Many CR stations manifested their interest in this project and
first discussions with stations from Slovakia, Hungary and Slovenia
already took place.
A very exhaustive press file and tapes are at the disposal of all
interested CR stations.
