Now in its second season on Showtime in the US, the Fox 21 production ?Homeland? 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 Israeli series "Hatufim-Prisoners of War."

The show?s executive producer Howard Gordon first gained international attention for his award-winning work as executive producer of Fox?s series ?The X-Files?. From 2001 to 2010, Gordon was the showrunner and executive producer of ?24.?

Before executive producing ?Homeland?, Gideon Raff created, wrote and directed ?Hatufim-Prisoners of War?, the Israel 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.

In front of the MipTV audience, 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 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.
