Berlinale Series Market: Fernando Meirelles, Alex de la Iglesia, ‘Borgen’s’ Maja Jul Larsen to Unveil New Shows
variety.comMarta Balaga Berlinale Series Market Selects has revealed its lineup. The European Film Market’s “boutique market for serial content from all over the world” will welcome Spanish shows in Berlinale Market Selects, its screening showcase, from “Internal Affairs,” focusing on one of the first female police officers in Spain, starting her first post, to “Honor” – yet another take on famous Israeli show which sees a judge covering his son’s crime.
Produced by Alex de la Iglesia, AtresmediaTV and Alex de la Iglesia and Carolina Bang at their Banijay-backed Pookepsie Films, “Sanctuary” turns to post-climate disaster future where women spend their pregnancies in a dome protecting them from pollution.
It is not all they think, however. Meanwhile, “City of God” director Fernando Meirelles and “Borgen” writer Maja Jul Larsen will bring projects to the BSM’s Co-Pro Series strand.
Spain has been chosen as the Country in Focus at this year’s EFM. Other featured countries include Australia-U.S, Brazil, Estonia/Ukraine, France, Greece, Iceland, Canada, Norway, Portugal/Poland, South Africa, South Korea and New Zealand.
