Relive the Are You Series? Festival

From 8 to 12 December 2021 Bozar turned the spotlight on series again with the Are You Series? festival. Discover some of the highlights of the event.

After a cancelled edition, the TV series festival finally took place last December, with exclusive previews and special guests during 5 evening screenings and a day of professional encounters. The series focused on the theme of revolt: against violence against women (H24), against political corruption (Pandora), against the relocation of work and the desertion of the countryside (The Last Socialist Artefact), against the power of money over bodies and lives (The Window). The professional encounter highlighted the paradigm shifts taking place in the audiovisual sector: equality, diversity and improved working conditions for all workers. Relive four key moments of the festival here.
