Paris – Howard Gordon and Gideon Raff, executive producers of multi-award-winning drama Homeland, will give a MIPTV Media Mastermind Keynote on  April 8, presented in partnership with Keshet International.

At MIPTV, Gordon and Raff will reveal the creative process behind the critically-acclaimed and ratings winning dramas, from conception to screen. They will discuss how these compelling dramas have become hits around the world and what considerations were made in adapting an Israeli story for American TV, creating a hit twice-over. Gordon and Raff will be accompanied by Keshet’s VP of Programming, Ran Tellem, who oversaw one of TV’s most successful scripted adaptations from day one.

Executive Producer of Homeland, Howard Gordon, first gained international attention for his award-winning work as executive producer of Fox’s groundbreaking series The X-Files. From 2001 to 2010, Gordon was the show runner and executive producer of the worldwide hit series 24. Gideon Raff created, wrote and directed Hatufim-Prisoners of War, the highest-rated drama series in Israel and winner of nine Israeli Academy Awards for Television, including Best Directing and Best Drama Series. For his writing on Homeland, Raff received an Emmy® award, a WGA award, an Edgar Allen Poe award, as well as a Peabody award.

Now in its second season in the U.S., the Fox 21 production, Homeland, has won six Primetime Emmy® awards, including the 2012 Outstanding Drama Series, and four Golden Globe awards, including the 2013 Best Television Drama Series. Homeland is based on Keshet Broadcasting’s critically-acclaimed Israeli series Hatufim-Prisoners of War.
