Featured Series & Projects:

The Trident
by Kriti Kapoor (Alumna SE#12)
When a small god figure gives birth to offspring asexually, they must use their newfound superpowers to battle powerful scientists who are trying to control the future of human evolution.
She’s a Monster
by Kriti Kapoor & Katerina Papanastasatou (Alumnae SE#12)
Anya, a 30-year-old graphic novel writer, turns into a monster for five days every month, destroying her life and forcing her to team up with her ex’s current girlfriend, a monster-taming professional.
One of the festival’s most anticipated events — the Pitch Circus — offers creators the chance to present their projects live and compete for the 10,000 CHF prize for the best pitch. Our alumni will once again bring their creative vision, courage, and storytelling brilliance to the stage.
Featuring our guest Wiebke Mercier, who shares insights into storytelling, creative processes, and the ever-evolving landscape of the international series industry. From festival stages to international screens, our alumni continue to push creative boundaries and redefine storytelling. Serien Festival Basel is another proud moment — where stories born in our classrooms shine bright on the big stage.
