Hbo Premieres the Third Season of Game of Thrones
HBO PREMIERES THE THIRD SEASON OF GAME OF THRONES The new season will premiere simultaneously with the United States on March 31st Miami, FL, March 18, 2013 – The battle for the Iron Throne among the families who rule the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros continues in the third season of the HBO original series, Game of Thrones. Winner of two Emmys® 2011 and six Golden Globes® 2012, the series is based on the famous fantasy books “A Song of Ice and Fire” by George R.R. Martin. HBO Latin America will premiere the third season simultaneously with the United States on March 31st. Many of the events that occurred in the first two seasons will culminate violently, with several of the main characters confronting their destinies. But new challengers for the Iron Throne rise from the most unexpected places. Characters old and new must navigate the demands of family, honor, ambition, love and – above all – survival, as the Westeros civil war rages into autumn. The Lannisters hold absolute dominion over King’s Landing after repelling Stannis Baratheon’s forces, yet Robb Stark –King of the North– still controls much of the South, having yet to lose a battle. In the Far North, Mance Rayder (new character portrayed by Ciaran Hinds) has united the wildlings into the largest army Westeros has ever seen. Only the Night’s Watch stands between him and the Seven Kingdoms. Across the Narrow Sea, Daenerys Targaryen – reunited with her three growing dragons – ventures into Slaver’s Bay in search of ships to take her home and allies to conquer it.

From global media audiences to those physically present at screenings: it is people who make film festivals (Dayan 2000). Nevertheless, Film Festival Studies, with its preoccupation with global economics and/or the political nature of these events, has arguably omitted the ‘audience voice’ meaning much of the empirical work on offer derives from market research by festivals themselves. As such, there is little conceptual contribution about what makes festivals culturally important to audiences or the ways in which festival practice differs from, or synergises with, broader cinematic practice.

Game of Thrones Analysis
Game of Thrones Transmedia Storytelling Analysis Ott Vatter BFM Introduction Game of Thrones is an American fantasy drama television series created for HBO by David Benioff and D. B. Weiss. It is an adaptation of A Song of Ice and Fire, George R. R. Martin's series of fantasy novels, the first of which is titled A Game of Thrones. The unique transmedia experience was produced by New York based creative marketing agency Campfire. This paper is a transmedia analysis of the project Game of Thrones, written by Ott Vatter for the course Transmedia Storytelling, taught by Dr. Renira Gambarato. The course is part of the Baltic Film School’s Crossmedia Production Master program. The paper follows the methodology suggested by Dr. Renira Gambarato in the text “How to Analyze Transmedia Narratives” and the main goal of the analysis is to understand in which way transmedia storytelling strategies were implemented in the project, evaluating its strengths, weaknesses and trying to suggest possible improvements. As the TV series Game of Thrones has been accomplished with major success, it would take far more than 15 pages to analyze every related extension, so I with this essay I am going to discuss what I consider most relevant. I will try to do it as objectively as possible. Premise and purpose The purpose of the transmedia project is to promote the adaption of the fantasy novel "A Song of Ice and Fire" written by George R. R. Martin to the TV series Game of Thrones. The fundamental purpose of the TV show is to entertain, which it does very well through morally ambiguous characters.

Summers span decades. Winters can last a lifetime. And the struggle for the Iron Throne has begun. It will stretch from the south, where heat breeds plots, lusts and intrigues; to the vast and savage eastern lands… …all the way to the frozen north, where an 700-foot wall of ice protects the kingdom from the dark forces that lie beyond. Kings and queens, knights and renegades, liars, lords and honest men... All will play the ‘Game of Thrones’. Season 1 Synopsis: Game Of Thrones is a new HBO original television program based on George R. R. Martin’s best-selling ‘A Song Of Ice And Fire’ series. Set in a fictitious world reminiscent of Medieval Europe in which magic exists and the seasons can last for many years, Game Of Thrones follows the violent dynastic struggles of an empire in turmoil. As seven noble families fight for control of the mythical land of Westeros, intrigue abounds. Robert Baratheon, King of Westeros, asks his old friend Eddard Stark to serve as his chief advisor, or “Hand of the King.” Stark learns that more than one family is plotting to take the throne. The Queen's family, the Lannisters, may be hatching an incestuous plot to take control. Across the sea, the last surviving members of the previously deposed ruling family, the Targaryens, are also plotting a return to power. The vast web of conflicts Lord Stark uncovers in the capitol leads to shocking revelations, deadly confrontations and eventually to war. In the Game of Thrones, you win or you die.

Boundless Storytelling
Ghent University Faculty of Arts and Philosophy Boundless Storytelling: An Investigation of the Transmedial Expansion of George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire Supervisor: Paper submitted in partial Dr. Jasper Schelstraete fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of “Master in de Vergelijkende Moderne Letterkunde” by Esther De Baecke May 2016 George Martin has woven for us the tapestry of Westeros, filled with resonating characters who see the world through a different and sometimes magical prism. And still we empathize, we sympathize, we live with and live through these exotic beings. We see enough truth of the human condition in each of them to fall in love or to spit with hate. Classify it anyway you’d like; call it fantasy, or low fantasy, or high fantasy, or allegory. Feel free to assign the label of your choice. I’m sure those labels won’t bother George, however they’re applied or defined. Because what he knows, [...] and his millions of fans certainly know, is that what he really writes are damned great books, for this night and all the nights to come. (Salvatore xi-xii) Preface In the course of my academic career at UGhent, I have encountered several Monty Pythonesque “and now for something completely different” moments. After reading The Picture of Dorian Gray during the summer holidays of 2013, I was intensely intrigued by the flamboyant, yet tragic Oscar Wilde. As a result, I decided to peruse his bibliography in order to find a suitable topic for my bachelor paper. That topic would turn out to be “Aestheticism in Oscar Wilde’s Fairy Tales”, a topic that allowed me to completely immerse myself in tales with elegant, sensorily overwhelming phrases, and bittersweet endings.

When the opportunity to go cage diving to view Great White sharks presents itself, thrill-seeking Kate jumps at the chance while Lisa takes some convincing. After some not so gentle persuading, Lisa finally agrees and the girls soon find themselves two hours off the coast of Huatulco and about to come face to face with nature's fiercest predator. But what should have been the trip to end all trips soon becomes a living nightmare when the shark cage breaks free from their boat, sinks and they find themselves trapped at the bottom of the ocean. With less than an hour of oxygen left in their tanks, they must somehow work out how to get back to the boat above them through 47 meters of shark-infested waters.
