WELCOME FROM THE INTERNATIONAL ACADEMY PRESIDENT & CEO Dear Festival Attendees, Welcome to the International Emmy® World Television Festival. Once again, we are looking forward to gathering the global television community in New York City. This is the Academy’s showcase of excellence in international television, held in November, in New York, the weekend before the International Emmy® Awards Gala.
BRUCE L. PAISNER President & CEO of the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences
This year, the programming landscape has been skewed by two major events, a labor strike by writers and actors on the one hand, and major initiatives by studios and networks alike in the streaming marketplace. As we reflect on the challenges of our industry and optimistically look ahead, one thing remains: there is much more outstanding programming from all over the world to be seen and enjoyed. The International Emmy® World Television Festival is a unique opportunity to see some of the world’s best television and to meet the creative talent behind these programs. This weekend, our panels and presentations feature nominated shows and performances across 14 categories and 20 countries. We hope you will enjoy viewing the final selection of programs and meeting nominees from Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, India, Israel, Japan, Mexico, Portugal, Qatar, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Turkey and the United Kingdom. We also invite you to attend our special events: the Sunday Festival Brunch sponsored by Warner Bros. Discovery and the closing cocktail sponsored by Globoplay.

FESTIVAL
SAT NOV 18 + SUN NOV 19
Omar Khan is a 27-year-old, British Pakistani writer actor who has been quietly building a large network of industry relationships through relentless cold calling and proactivity. This tenacity recently resulted in this London based creative’s first short film, which he wrote and starred in, funded by Netflix through UK based production company Fully Focused. After screening this film to a room comprised largely of his own network he’d amassed, he received the opportunity to perform some of his original writing on the West End with the National Youth Theatre – where he is a member as an actor - before receiving his first commission as a playwright with them with the run of his first play scheduled for Spring 2024. Omar is eager to tell fresh, relatable, and engaging stories certainly making him a creative to keep an eye on in the years to come. A prolific writer having written plays, series pilots, full length features, short stories, Omar’s style traverse all genres but what remains constant is the sharp dialogue he employs. Whether he explores grief in a horror film or romantic relationships in a twisted road trip between two outsiders. Whether it be friendship and chosen family in a sitcom pilot or generational trauma in a character study, Omar draws inspiration from his real life to write characters that are, above all, honest. Omar likens his stories to life and with life, there is no one genre.
Omar Khan Laced with black comedy, even the saddest stories have a touch of levity. Moments are happy and sad, funny and tragic and all within moments of each other. This authenticity of Omar’s primary concern when writing any genre and is something that is supremely palpable in his work.
ABOUT : POCKET MAN When trauma causes a 1st generation Pakistani immigrant to flee his homeland, pressures from his back home and the desire to adopt a child with his wife lead him to use his skills as a circus performer to aid a local gang in their crimes.
