TV/Online Director and TV/Online Technical Producer

Short term challenge!

Every autumn The Amsterdam Storytelling Festival brings some of the best storytellers and actors from across the globe together. The festival is under the creative direction of Raphael Rodan and Sahand Sahebdivani. These two ‘brothers’ of Israeli and Iranian descent, explore a wide range of international and national performances throughout the year, and select what they think is the best. They also coach emerging talent into the Storytelling world.
When leaves start to fall all these artists come together for 5 long and exciting days in Podium Mozaiek in Amsterdam. The theatre is a hub of creativity, music and inspiration where hundreds of people walk in and out.

BUT IN 2020, EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT
Inviting people from across the globe is not happening right now… And of course seating and the amount of shows will be very limited. We will still make the live events small and cosy.
Besides that we also see this as an opportunity to reach out to the whole world with our Talks. Every year our directors dive into some interesting topics with one or two experts.

EXAMPLES

Last year

Talk Oral Arts vs. political activism
Should artists focus on creating art for the sake of art, or should they use their tools to create a change in politics/society? We will talk about the pros and cons of a thorny subject in the time of the refugee crisis and climate activism.

This year

Talk 'Apocalypse'
Every belief system has its own stories explaining how the world is going to end. In this talk, we are going to discuss how Judaism, Buddhism and Islam imagine the Apocalypse. Do these stories comfort us or serve as a warning?..

In 2020 we want to bring our Talks to a next level: online.

WHY DO WE LOOK FOR YOU?
We do know loads about storytelling and creating intimacy for a live audience, but we don’t know how to translate that to a smooth online ‘tv’ talkshow. For that we are searching for an experienced tv-director and technical producer who have loads of time in October and a bunch of enthusiasm and flexibility.
