During the different scheduled sessions, we analysed the phenomena of the low cost documentaries, but also the large format and creative documentaries without forgetting the initial documentary production for the current days, that forces us to think about narrative and financial solutions to answer the presented challenges. With all, the CONTD spirit has remained faithful to the previous editions: being an analysis space for content experts and researchers, new format creators and innovators, telecasters and professionals of the audiovisual sector. The sessions, one more time, aimed to become a reference from where starting bridges for dialogue between all the agents in the production process: industry, university and administration.
After some days, we can ensure that this new edition of the CONTD Sessions has met and reinforced the established expectations by the organisation. We are, thus, completely satisfied of the conferences, round tables and debates level that took place during the meeting, as well as the presented communications, whose conclusions mean a very important incentive to continue in the future. Precisely, about the consolidation and the innovative sense of the sessions spoke in the inauguration the vice-principal for Post-graduate Studies, who was accompanied by the vice-dean of Economy and Infrastructures of the Faculty of Language Studies, Translation and Communication, Francesc A. Martínez Gallego, and the director of the Instituto Valenciano del Audiovisual y la Cinematrografía (IVAC), Nuria Cidoncha.
Marín appealed to the importance of the public university in the training of professionals and citizens, as well as in the transfer of knowledge to the productive sector. In this context, she pointed out the Official Master in Audiovisual Contents and Formats of the CONTD Sessions, as an example of this practices and the consideration of the talent and creativity promoted in a moment of crisis where the transformation of the audiovisual and television models of the future is happening.
One more year, the presentation of the master’s degree final projects by the students in front of a selection of representatives of the audiovisual industry, such as producers and television companies, was the high point of the CONTD Sessions. All the projects were very well valued and the representatives of the television companies and audiovisual industries highlighted the high level of development of the presented projects.
