[SERIES MANIA x Kiblind]
For the second year in a row, Kiblind and SERIES MANIA put a drawing contest together – open to all the creative people, professional and non-professional.

Take part in it until February 16th.

SERIES MANIA is THE international festival dedicated to worldwide shows. The 11th edition will take place from March 20th to March 28th in Lille.
In addition to screenings, the festival is open to other artistic fields with a rich and diversified program: exhibitions, concerts, parties…
That’s how grew the idea of a collective exhibition SERIES MANIA x Kiblind. 
This year, we want to invite participants to draw the series that have imagined the future.
So: – if you draw like no one else or are a tablet champion
– if you are part of the shows addicts community
– if you dream to be at the next SERIES MANIA fest and discover the pretty city of Lille
Do not hesitate and take part of it from the January 20th until February 16th.

It’s your go!

For everyone, one topic: Showing future.
Series have imagined future for a long time and sometimes they predicted it: self driving cars, digital networks, transhumanism. Today, they even present a future where humans will be able to change bodies and have a digital consciousness. 

The 22 following shows give a certain vision of the future and the technology in the future:
The Twilight zone – 1959 / Reboot 2019 // The Prisoner – 1967 // Dr Who – 1967 until today // The Six Million Dollar Man – 1974 // Space 1999 – 1975 // The Bionic Woman – 1976 // Knight Rider – 1982 // Star Trek New generation – 1987 // Battlestar Galactica – 2004 // Dollhouse – 2009 // Black Mirror – 2011 // Persons of Interest – 2011 // Real Humans (Swedish version) – 2012 // The 100 – 2014 // Mr Robot – 2015 // Trepalium – 2016 // Westworld – 2016 // 3% – 2016 // Altered Carbon – 2018 // Ad Vitam – 2018 // Kiss me first – 2018 // Years and Years – 2019
