The first organization entirely dedicated to talent development and professional training for the television series industry
Founded in 2021 by Series Mania, Series Mania Institute is the first organization entirely dedicated to talent development and professional training for the television series industry. Based in Lille, in northern France, the Institute combines strong regional roots with a growing international presence, welcoming participants at every stage of their careers, from emerging creatives to experienced industry professionals.
Its programs span the entire series production process, from screenwriting and directing to pre-production and post-production, helping participants develop the creative and professional skills required by today’s evolving television industry.
In 2023, Series Mania Institute was selected as a beneficiary of France 2030’s “La Grande Fabrique de l’image“, a French government initiative supporting the development of the country’s film and audiovisual industries. The Institute is supported by major public and industry partners, including the Hauts-de-France Regional Council, France’s National Centre for Cinema and the Moving Image (CNC), Creative Europe MEDIA, France Télévisions, Afdas, France Travail and the European Social Fund Plus (ESF+).
Series Mania Institute is based on three objectives
- Sharing European expertise to create a network of cooperation between professionals across the continent
- Decompartmentalizing the TV series industry to fluidify the creative process and respond to increasing production volumes
- Opening up the sector to diverse backgrounds and origins to enable all talent to access TV and creative professions
