20th Anniversary Legacy Award + Keynote: Sheila Nevins, HBO Documentary Films
Salon L 4:00 PM-5:00 PM At the helm of HBO’s hugely influential documentary team, and as an executive producer, Sheila Nevins has produced over 1,000 documentaries for the premium cable network, and, among her many accolades, has won 32 individual Primetime Emmy Awards, more than any other person. In 2017, the president of HBO Documentary Films added “author” to her list of accomplishments, with the publication of her New York Times best-selling book, You Don’t Look Your Age… and Other Fairy Tales (Flatiron Books). With characteristic candor, Nevins provides readers with what Meryl Streep (just one of the narrators in the audio books version) calls “an honest excavation of the process of living.” Sheila Nevins will be presented with a special Realscreen Legacy Award during her keynote conversation with Washington Post TV critic Hank Stuever. Here, she will discuss the process of penning her stories, and of course, her career as one of the most influential figures in documentary. Speaking |

The Business of Unscripted: A Global View
Salon L 9:30 AM-10:30 AM For content businesses, the proliferation of glowing screens can be a double-edged sword, with more buyers entering the picture, but a further fragmentation of audiences. And as the buyers themselves look at opportunities to build scale through merger and acquisition, the transformation of the global media landscape is taking yet another interesting turn. In this top-level discussion, we will learn the strategies that global content producer-distributors are employing to navigate the changing tides. Where do they see opportunity for not only companies of their size, but producers in general? And what is their outlook for the industry, for the years ahead? Speaking |
