The Serien Festival Basel Pitching is an event organized by the Serien Festival Basel, focused on fostering the development of original series projects. It hosts pitching sessions for projects in the development phase, inviting producers, directors, showrunners, and writers to present their series concepts to an industry jury. The festival also includes a student pitching competition, open to emerging talents from film schools in Switzerland, Germany, and France, dedicated to both fiction and documentary series ideas. The goal is to inspire creative teams to develop original series, especially those with "Swiss DNA," and winning projects receive a development grant.
