 All About INPUT: Television Excellence from Around the World 
What Happens at INPUT? Producers, directors, journalists, filmmakers and program managers from all over the world attend INPUT to screen, discuss, debate, critique, challenge and learn from each other. All producers whose works are screened attend the conference. INPUT delegates are wildly passionate about the responsibilities and possibilities of television in the public interest. Most important, they envision a worldwide audience for these informative, challenging and enlightening programs. ITVS Shines at INPUT 2003 Each year, an international jury of peers reviews more than 1,000 submissions from more than 65 member countries. Eighty-five to 100 of the most innovative, provocative productions are selected and shown over the course of five days at the conference. This year, of the four U.S. programs chosen for the May conference in Aarhus, Denmark, three were ITVS productions: DADDY & PAPA by Johnny Symons, DAUGHTER FROM DANANG by Gail Dolgin and Vicente Franco and SEÑORITA EXTRAVIADA by Lourdes Portillo. In addition to these filmmakers, ITVS Vice President and CFO Judy Tam, Programming Director Claire Aguilar and Consulting Editor David Liu attended the conference. The Best of INPUT The Best of INPUT (also known as Mini-INPUT) hit San Francisco on March 21 and 22, 2003. KQED, Film Arts Foundation, Goethe Institute and the Swedish Consulate joined ITVS to co-host an annual exhibition of selected shows originally shown at the 2002 conference in Rotterdam. The program featured films and shorts from Canada, China, Colombia, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Ireland, Mexico, Palestine, Russia, South Africa and Sweden. More than a hundred people attended the weekend-long conference to meet filmmakers, view the films and take part in lively discussions. Mini-INPUT will return to San Francisco again in March 2004. Another successful INPUT U.S. screening was held at Syracuse University on April 4 and 5 at the S.I. Newhouse School of Communications, featuring seven programs from INPUT 2002. INPUT 2005: Bringing World Public Media Makers Home ITVS is the official host of INPUT 2005 in partnership with KQED, bringing the five-day conference to San Francisco for the first time. The expanded conference will attract more than 1,500 of the world’s most influential television broadcasters, producers, directors and writers from 56 countries to screen more than 80 hours of programming from around the world.
