Opening titles in television series

All series fans live with intense memories of the credits and with the impatience to find the ones that thrill them. Colours, typography, familiar faces, heady music: everything blends together to create a unique bubble of pop desire. At once a reassuring blanket and a half-open window on captivating stories, a preliminary to fiction and an art object in itself, the credits hold a special place in our relationship with these series that increasingly shape our cultural and intimate lives.

Our take

A l’occasion de l’exposition sur les génériques au Tri postal, rediffusion du documentaire d’Olivier Joyard, suivie d’un débat en sa présence et celle de Lola Landekic, fondatrice du site référence américain The Art of Titles.
