“Even if I die on the TV, the TV will not go away” – The País.com (Spain)

Joseba Fiestras (Vitoria, 1968) is a “Geek TV”. In his Twitter account says the same thing you see “Save me that Punset”. Six years ago, this reporter decided to take a step beyond your hobby riding “a film festival without film.” Thus was born the FesTVal, a competition where the public approached their idols and became professional in front of your audience. The event is already unavoidable to introduce new, award prizes, and this year, also to give master classes appointment. Vitoria is again from today until September 6th cathodic capital.

Question . What is different this year FesTVal

Answer . We grow and conformed ourselves to changing times and fashions of television. The spine are premieres. We also have ProfesTVal, event enrollment workshops and lectures for professionals.

P . How will success be achieved?

R. At first we had a point of ambition because it was only in Spain, but neither insane thought it would grow so quickly and become point reference sector.

P. How are you approaching the new way to watch TV?

R. is more fragmented, and new generations do not see it as we watched. Hurry and see in videos where everything is condensed in seconds. It is creating a new narrative language, with webseries and products for social networks. Netflix’s success demonstrates that it is a global thing

.

The Vitoria Television Festival takes place until September 6

P. a television model is needed online here

R. Yes, but it is difficult to monetize the content. Before advertising not failed, but now makes no bet. The future is to create a branded advertising language as the content. Television will never die, even if the TV disappears.

P. Y is piracy. Would you pay for the service a Spanish

R. I do not know. Internet appeared so suddenly that we still try to control it. We have not done everything right. All groups have experts to find the key. That will address the ProfesTVal.

P. also have room screenwriters

R. We have a course union ALMA, because they have been very undervalued. They are not prophets in the land, but they sell a product directly to the United States and then marvel here, after no one would give them work.

P. What diagnosis makes status of the current national TV?

R. The problem is that I love TV. I have worked on and although a program is weak, the effort of the people behind deserves recognition. I hate the term trash TV. Television is democratic, with lots of channels and the ability to turn it off.

P. What do you like most about last season?

I hate the term trash TV. Television is democratic

R. I was surprised Jordi Évole brave and special 23-F. Every program has the challenge not go unnoticed, create a reaction. Also The Voice Kids , which rolled over and surpassed its predecessor. And tell me, who always reinvents itself.

P. What would you like the next

R. Refugees , the first co-production of BBC in Spain with La Sexta. It is a step that must be taken. A series of science fiction realistic American 45 minutes. And I want to see Wild Frank , a born communicator who, despite his follies, I stuck to the screen.

P. Why not triumph pay channels in Spain

R. With so many free channels is difficult for the viewer pay raise, but the future is in these non-specialized chains pending hearings. That happened with HBO and now any set his seal upon globalizing. But the mechanics of DTT has not been successful.

P. Is the sample channel closing

R. Yes, with the loss of jobs and investment that entails. Forced to close businesses that also went well. And although I do not like its content, closing Teledeporte is sad. He had his audience and worked as a service to accommodate minority sports.

P. What is your dream for the FesTVal

R. The goal for a long time is the internalization, but funding is a powerful imperative. There are available, but no money. This year we step to attract the BBC. It would be a chance for premieres and professionals in discussions

.

The FesTVal is open to everyone, from audiovisual professionals gathered at the ProfesTVal, neighbors of Vitoria, conquered for a week for proposals asphalt walk. Spain Square will become Plató Vitoria-Gasteiz to shelter one DJ (September 4) party, a children’s race Put Brake road safety (September 6), Comedy Central and monologues to the giant slide in the reality Basque The conquistour (September 5).

The contest takes the gastronomic capital and the rise of cooking shows to present three pintxos and created by Chicote jury Top Chef , available on 4 September in five bars. The challenge for the diner, opting for several awards, will guess their common ingredients. A day later, Canal Cocina record the I love my market competition in the Market Square. “We want to intensify the idea of ​​going outside. Create a claim for outsiders come and meet us, “says Fiestras:” We have no beach Guggenheim, but we are a welcoming city. If they are well fed earn points. “
