Screen (own spelling: SCREEN ) was a cinema and DVD magazine for the digital special interest broadcaster GIGA . The show was moderated by Etienne Gardé and constantly changing guest moderators. Screen was last broadcast every Tuesday from 9:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on GIGA. Due to the discontinuation of the GIGA channel, no further programs were produced from January 2009.

history

Screen premiered on March 20, 2007 as part of the new GIGA Prime Time . Initially, Etienne Gardé moderated the show together with Daniel van Moll , who was also CvD of Prime Time at GIGA at the time. Van Moll has since left the station. The first plans for a cinema and DVD magazine on GIGA had been made years before, when GIGA was still broadcasting as a program window on NBC Europe . A pilot episode was even shot, but it was never broadcast. The project failed at the time due to the lack of a sponsor. It was only with the start of a completely new Prime Time at GIGA in March 2007 that the program made it to home screens. Since then it has been broadcast weekly on Tuesday nights. For film distributors, Screen offered the opportunity to have a film presented in more detail as part of a purchased special. So there was u. a. Special programs for the films Resident Evil: Extinction , My Wife, the Spartans and I or Street Kings .

construction

Each broadcast began with detailed presentations of current films. Trailers and interviews were shown, then these films were discussed in the studio. New DVD releases were also scrutinized and rated by presenter Etienne Gardé. In addition, there was the so-called "insider tip" at irregular intervals. Behind it was the idea of ​​a DVD, which, in the opinion of the moderators, is wrongly gathering dust on the shelves of the dealers. In this category, enthusiastic film fans could also look forward to the presentation of titles outside the "mainstream".

Studio

Screen was produced in the GIGA Studios in Cologne . A part of the set from the GIGA Games program was used for the magazine . The moderators sat in armchairs, there was a plasma TV in the middle and with certain camera settings you could see a shelf with DVDs, which is set up on the outer edge of the set.

Spin-off

On March 5, 2008, Screen Home was a spin-off from Screen. Screen Home focused on DVD and home theater . Screen Home thus complemented Screen, which has been able to dedicate itself to the cinema in greater detail since the start of the spin-off. Screen Home was discontinued in the course of the relaunch.

Unofficial successor

In April 2009 it was announced that Etienne Gardé would be moderating a cinema magazine for the online TV channel bunch.tv in the future . The show will be called Seen and will be very similar to Screen, as Etienne Garde suggested on his website.
