I'm doing this project as an intern in a dutch production company called ThinkFish. I started today and I'm yet to frame my research question but I think it will be formed around the importance of a culture for the succes of a Slow TV concept.. Why is it that Slow TV is so popular in Norway, and what has that to do with the Norwegian culture, is it the identification of national things that make it so succesfull?. The goal of ThinkFish is to bring Slow TV to Holland. Slow TV has only been broadcasted once on national television (Tokyio Reverse) but gained little to no attention.<br /><br />What do you think of it? Maybe we can do a sparring session one time. Or you would like to contribute to the documentary?<br /><br />my email is<br /><br />s.mandemakers@gmail.com<br /><br />Kind regards,<br /><br />Sef Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10767799378208269944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5945354199395871272.post-56473760130378880122014-10-09T13:34:19.068+02:002014-10-09T13:34:19.068+02:00Interestingly it is the younger generation which s...Interestingly it is the younger generation which seems to struggle with the concept of Slow TV and "why would anyone want to watch that". Probably 35+ is the demographic which most gets Slow TV.<br /><br />Not sure how and if children would engage in Slow TV; In the Night Garden has moments of tranquility. How do you get children to sit still to watch something for a long time? Maybe stimulation, activity and busy-ness are embedded in the modern way of life. <br /><br />The age question is another factor bear in mind.Tim Prevetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02421277464686938967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5945354199395871272.post-36856309825921177102014-10-08T15:47:01.772+02:002014-10-08T15:47:01.772+02:00Intriguing post!
