PAC ROUNDTABLE: WHO DOES WHAT? THE PRODUCER, THE EXECUTIVE PRODUCER AND THE PRODUCTION MANAGER
In the world of audiovisual production, the roles of the producer, the executive producer and the production manager are often confused. But do we really know what each does? Where do their responsibilities begin and end?
In this roundtable moderated by Ed Antoja, we will shed light on these key figures in any audiovisual project. We will have three working professionals —a producer, an executive producer and a production manager— who will share their experience and debate about:• The specific functions of each role
• How they relate to each other throughout a project
• The most common misunderstandings in the industry
• How decision making and responsibility are divided upAn open and useful conversation for students, emerging professionals and anyone who wants to better understand audiovisual production.

NEW NARRATIVES GEARED TOWARD PLATFORM DISTRIBUTION
with Cristian Trepat, Director of Content and Programming at 3Cat.
How do you “cook up” an audiovisual hit when the viewer is in control and the rules of the game have changed forever? An immersion in the “engine room” of content creation to reveal how binge-watching is rewriting scripts, how the most daring formats for specific audiences are born, and why the new faces of platforms connect in a different way. We will also discover how classic genres, such as documentaries and educational programs, are transforming to adapt to new distribution channels and a more demanding audience. A journey to understand the transformation of the country’s largest story factory in the streaming era.
