Manuel Alduy: I have helped broadcasters to acquire, market and promote the best scripted content for their audience. As a TV entertainment savvy and fan, I have developed negotiation and marketing core competences, a strong drive for transformation, and situational and cultural adaptability. I started in Finance for the pioneer pay TV Group CANAL+. Budget planning and cost controlling when competition launched and Internet was created proved to be an exciting moment. 7 years later, I swinged to business development, a move that worked as a transition to content programming, marketing and acquisitions. At Multithématiques, I handled carriage negotiations and channels launch. Later, I headed CINECINEMAS pay TV, a 6-channel portfolio with 3 millions subscribers, 2000 films per year and a newsroom. Back at CANAL+ as French Cinema VP, then head of Cinema & Series, I enjoyed reading 500 scripts a year, screening as many films and series, acquiring rights from producers and distributors, and negotiating the first complexities of this new TV era (replay, SVOD, OTT) with US major Studios. I also handled industry negotiations with Guilds, Festivals and cinema organizations, and lobbied on key regulatory issues. A decade later, as Netflix was rumored to launch in France, I moved to head CANAL+OTT division, with SVOD, digital content and channels. Thanks to a talented team with entrepreneurial spirit, we grew CANALPLAY from 300k to 850K subscribers in France, launched 50 YouTube channels, initiated brand content for CANAL+ and the first premium short-form scripted series with STUDIO+ (25 produced in 18 months). Early 2016, time had come to move again and join great friends at 20th Century Fox. I was responsible for the sales of Fox's films, Fox and FX series to broadcasters and SVOD services in France, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Africa and Switzerland, from major volume deals to one-off individual sales. I also locally manage scripted format sales (THIS IS US France). End of 2019, I was happy to join Disney and oversees EMEA content sales. Early 2021, I joined France Télévisions to head cinema and international series.

Michele Zatta: Formato dalle pregresse esperienze lavorative di guida turistica, copywriter e avvocato, ho iniziato la mia carriera in tv come story editor. Il cambiamento della mia vita ha avuto luogo nel 1994 quando ho sviluppato, insieme con un team di scrittori italiani e australiani, la prima soap italiana ("Un posto al sole"), iniziata nell'ottobre del 1996 e tuttora in onda. Ho lavorato ad "Un posto al sole" per 12 anni come co-autore e contemporaneamente mi sono occupato delle prime due stagioni de "La squadra ", una serie poliziesca andata in onda in prima serata per 8 stagioni (221 episodi da 100' ciascuno), un'altra soap ("Cuori rubati") e qualche tv movie. Nel 2008 sono stato assunto in Rai come dirigente di Rai Fiction. In quanto dirigente mi sono occupato dei processi produttivi ed editoriali di diversi progetti (tv movies, miniserie e lunga serialità), con particolare attenzione allo sviluppo narrativo. Alcune serie alle quali ho lavorato sono "La porta rossa", un thriller paranormale nel quale il protagonista deve scoprire chi lo ha ucciso, "Di Padre in figlia", una saga familiare che si svolge tra l'Italia e il Brasile, "Non uccidere", il primo "nordic-noir" italiano, "Il cacciatore", pluripremiata serie sulla vita del procuratore antimafia Alfonso Sabella, "Il nome della rosa", "Gli orologi del diavolo", coproduzione con la Spagna ispirata alla vita di Gianfranco Franciosi, "Fino all'ultimo battito", ibridazione tra il genere medical e il crime e "Mare fuori", che ha fatto segnare dati di ascolto epocali su Raiplay. Recentemente ho lavorato a "Sopravvissuti", "Il giro del mondo in 80 giorni","The reunion" e "The swarm" tutte co-prodotte con ZDF e FRANCE TV. Ho prodotto "Blackout", la prima serie distopica della Rai e "Noi siamo leggenda", la prima serie di supereroi. Ma "Squid game" mi ha insegnato quanta strada ho ancora da percorrere…
