Operation Sabre
Two Sarajevo winning-series by acclaimed Bosnian auteurs secured distribution deals in key territories. The crime drama “I Know Your Soul“ by the Oscar-nominated Jasmila Žbanić (“Quo Vadis, Aida?”) was bought by Arte for Germany and France, and HBO for CEE, while the crime thriller “The Hollow“ helmed by Oscar-winning Danis Tanovic (“No Man’s Land“) is heading off to Australia via pubcaster SBS. The shows were produced respectively by Deblokada and SCCA/pro.ba for BH Telecom.
Meanwhile the Ukrainian war drama “In Her Car,“ sold earlier to Japan, Latvia, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia, secured fresh deals with RTE for Ireland and Canal+ for Austria, Poland, Hungary, the Netherlands and Romania.
The show was produced by Starlight Media and Gaumont in co-production with ZDFneo, France Televisions, SRF, in association with Dreaming Sheep Company, Nordic pubcasters SVT, DR, NRK, RÚV and Yle.
Aslo, the Czech thriller “Ultimatum“ produced by Czech Television, KFS Production and TV JOJ, was snapped by Walter Presents for the U.K. and Ireland.
Commenting on Beta Film’s thriving business with series from CEE, Veronika Kovacova, EVP International Sales & Acquisitions, Eastern Europe, Asia, Turkey and Middle East said: “There is now a greater range of productions from the CEE region, not only in terms of quantity, but above all in terms of quality.
Buyers want high-end drama, and the rise in production quality shifted the focus of international clients and global players on the region. We have been active in CEE for many years and have built extensive partnerships, which sets us up with a great slate of productions that have travelled all around the globe, like “The Silence“, “Maria Theresa“, and “The Pleasure Principle,“ to name a few projects apart from the ones mentioned above.”
Besides those titles, the Munich-based leading indie distributor Beta Film will be bringing to Mipcom a large slate of scripted content for all ages, led by the epic “Rise of the Raven,” due to world premiere in the Grand Auditorium Oct. 22.
