One of the world's top television series festivals -- Series Mania -- opens in Paris Friday with "The Sopranos" creator David Chase chairing a jury that will choose the best of the new small-screen epics from across the globe.

The official competition, the first of its type for a festival aimed at the public as well as the TV industry, has eight new series including U.S. crime writer Harlan Coben's "The Five" competing for the Grand Prix.

Imagine moving along the cogs within giant machinery like Charlie Chaplin in "Modern Times", or tumbling inside a cabin teetering on the edge of a cliff as he did in "Gold Rush".

That will be possible when an ambitious, immersive museum showcasing the life and works of the groundbreaking filmmaker opens in Switzerland on Sunday.
