Beyond the Punchline | Comedy Series

Access: Market Badge

Tue Feb 20 15:00 – 15:45 Berlinale Series Market at CinemaxX
VOD available

In challenging times, the need for humour increases. Comedy series offer audiences an escape from grim realities, yet often tackle painful topics as well, providing a way to process complex emotions with both relief and laughter. This raises key questions: What is the role of comedy today? How can comedies be locally relevant yet universally appealing? And how can comedy series cross borders without crossing lines?

This event takes place at CinemaxX 3.
