NETFLIX PROUDLY SUPPORTS THE

INTV CONFERENCE AND CELEBRATES ITS PIONEERS AND VISIONARIES

Welcome to Jerusalem THE INTV CONFERENCE EXPLORES INNOVATION IN TELEVISION, digital and social media, and anything in between, though it takes place as far from Hollywood as one can get, in Jerusalem. Much like the high-tech industry, the start-up nation, and the national-security industries, the Israeli television content industry has earned a place of honor for over a decade. Israeli formats are sold and watched all over the world, as remakes or with English subtitles, and now, as the borders between the continents have narrowed, in Hebrew and Arabic as well. This is our sixth year holding the INTV Conference in Israel, and we have hosted over 100 speakers from various countries. Each year we examine and redefine innovation in the different worlds of television, financial models, distribution, the growing presence of streaming and digital platforms offering long and short forms, and the worlds of gaming that have been seen by over hundreds of millions of people. The innovations of INTV 2018 may already be eulogized this year. In a world that moves at a breakneck speed, the conference is devoted to understanding the global influences on content consumption, the impact of fake news, the ramifications of the #MeToo movement, and the ways in which social media influencers command the consciousness of audiences worldwide. Hundreds of top executives, creators, talents, producers, distributors, screenwriters, advertising agents, gamers, and digital marketers arrive every year in order to study and deepen their understanding, invest in networking and do business in a way that can produce both immediate and long-term collaborations. On stage at the previous INTV Conference, top executives have made headlines ranging from interesting to sensational. The uniqueness of Israel and Jerusalem draws many industry professionals to their first visit, and many leave full of admiration after personal encounters with people they had never met before, experiencing a new city, lectures, and panels at an international conference with many participants, unique in essence and size. Many of the speakers who arrive every year create new and fascinating connections and afford us access to the people running the international media and entertainment industry, who determine the way of the future. The INTV Conference is an Israeli vision led by Avi Nir, CEO of Keshet Media Group, and Alon Shtruzman, CEO of Keshet International, and has attracted high-quality collaborators who infuse it with wisdom and innovation every year, making it a renowned event within the international media industry. This year, for the first time, we are joined by Deadline Hollywood, which appeals to a variety of readers who wish to follow the latest trends and hear the opinions and lectures of industry leaders. I extend my deepest gratitude to the Jerusalem Development Authority for its endless support, to the conference participants from all over the world, to the dozens of speakers making the long trip to Jerusalem, to the Israelis taking part in the conference, and to our strategic partners over the years: Rick Rosen and Marc Korman of WME. I wish us all a wonderful conference,

Shira Margalit Director and Head Editor INTV Conference

TALKING TV Brimming with excitement and explosive announcements, the INTV conference goes from strength to strength BY PE T ER WHIT E

FROM HOLLYWOOD TO THE HOLY LAND, the INTV conference has managed to create conversation and headlines over the last six years, while also treating some of the biggest film and TV execs from around the world to parts of the Old City of Jerusalem that few are able to enjoy. The event ostensibly started as a way for Keshet Media Group, run by the formidable black t-shirted Avi Nir, to lure A-list Hollywood execs and network chiefs to its backyard as it looked to sell its projects to the U.S. While Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure the two-day conference on the banks of the Old City still helps grease the wheels of its global scripted and formats business, it also helps to showcase the growing

BUSTLE Attendees take in last year’s conference.

importance of international to the entire entertainment business. The venue, the Jerusalem International YMCA, itself is a glorious location straight out of central casting and is so close to the historic walled area that it feels like it is the backdrop of a Hollywood action movie. The conference has also grown over the years; the first year I attended, it had the feel of a nostalgic school trip with the likes of Lionsgate’s Sandra Stern and WME’s Rick Rosen leading a group to the Mayor’s house for cocktails on a rickety bus. But it has always attracted top talent, arguably punching above its weight in attendees. Last year, for instance, featured Fox TV Chairman and CEO Gary Newman, HBO programming chief Casey Bloys, Turner chief Kevin Reilly and Showtime’s David Nevins, while previous incarnations have featured Dana Walden, Bob Greenblatt, Jeff Zucker and Hugh Laurie. The event has also always found

a way to create a buzz; one of the earliest iterations featured a visit to the set of entertainment format Rising Star, which put Keshet on the map with a slew of deals in 2013. While many of us were watching the local singers, international buyers, including ABC in the U.S., were hurriedly trying to snap up the rights to the show. One U.K. buyer even made an audacious bid to steal the rights from under the noses of ITV after having snuck in to see the shiny floor series live. In 2017, The Night Manager was the focus. Laurie appeared in Jerusalem alongside exec producer Stephen Garrett and director Susanne Bier and the latter caused a stir when she revealed that a followup to the AMC/BBC spy drama was being developed even though it was originally thought to be a limited series, having been based on the John Le Carré classic. Although the sequel has yet to make it to air, a source

close to the show told me recently that they’re still figuring out a way to follow it up. Last year’s INTV, however, was the one that really caught the headlines. This was after it emerged, on a Deadline-moderated panel session, that Claire Foy received less than Matt Smith to star in Netflix’s royal drama The Crown. Exec producer Suzanne Mackie revealed that while the former Doctor Who star did make more than Foy during the first two seasons, this gender disparity would be fixed for Seasons 3 and 4, which sees Olivia Colman replace Foy as Queen Elizabeth II alongside Tobias Menzies as Prince Philip. The news traveled far and wide, from the New York Times to Buzzfeed and Vanity Fair, as well as via all of our trade rivals. One would assume that organizers Keshet would not want a repeat of this, particularly as it caused much consternation and embarrassment around production company Left Bank and its corporate owners Sony, and even ended up pushing Netflix to fix all gender disparities on its third-party produced titles. However, with a glint of trouble in their eye and a knowing nod to P.T. Barnum’s “there’s no such thing as bad publicity”, they are hoping for more headlines this year. I’m sure the likes of Greg Berlanti, RBG director Julie Cohen, Netflix’s Cindy Holland, Bodyguard creator Jed Mercurio and Amazon’s European content chief Georgia Brown have all been heavily briefed, but you never know what might come out by the Western Wall. ★
