‘Told by Women’ Gets Even More Ambitious Second Season, Re-Teaming ‘Turn of the Tide’ Producer Ukbar and Portuguese Pubcaster RTP
The new 20 films will once more be shot in small cities in Portugal, but contemporary films, not period pieces.
Now in development, “Told by Women” Season 2 will go into production this September/October, said Ukbar Filmes producer Pandora da Cunha Telles, also the first collection’s creator, talking at Spanish co-production forum Conecta Fiction on Wednesday. Some individual titles also sparked upbeat critical reactions, such as Sofia Teixeira Gomes’ renewed childhood friendship tale “Vizinhas” and Laura Seixas’ “Serpentina,” whose characters while trying to make a film find themselves trapped in a reality which feels like a gangster movie. Part of Season 1’s success may be put down to its offering a fresh take on daily life in smaller city rural Portugal, Cunha Telles noted at Conecta Fiction.
