The 10th Liège International Comedy Film Festival and the Association des Scénaristes de l’Audiovisuel invite you to an impertinent and useful Round Table!
More than ever, content creators are faced with contradictory injunctions: artistic freedom on the one hand, societal pressures and heightened sensitivities on the other.
Self-censorship, political correctness, the return of “good taste”, epidermic social networks: how can we still make people laugh in a world where everything can be controversial?
How do you deal with these new unspoken rules?
And above all: how far can we go without denying ourselves or losing our financial backing?
Is it riskier these days to tell a joke than to shoot a war film?
While commercial cinema seems to be bending over backwards, paradoxically it’s the trashiest TV series that are winning over Belgium and the rest of the world.
“Quiproquo: the “Barakis”? Snuls” or “Good people”? What if series were the last refuge of the politically incorrect?
This Round Table will be moderated by Philippe Reynaert and introduced by Daphné Huynh!
We’ll examine the shifting boundaries of humor on the small screen, combining feedback and visions of the future of television comedy at the heart of an event that for 10 years has celebrated the freedom and impertinence of laughter.
With
Sylvain Daï, screenwriter (Barakis, HPI), Camille Didion, screenwriter (Quiproquo), Matthieu Donck, director (Des Gens bien), Stanislas Ide, film and series critic (RTBF) & Stefan Liberski, writer-director (Les Snuls)
