Series Mania Unveils Co-Pro Projects With Buzzy Titles From Christoffer Boe, Jennifer Fox, Australia’s Wooden Horse
Also making the cut: a Dario Argento reimagining and new titles from Baldvin Z, Matt Harvey, Hanno Hackfort and Carlos Vila.
Announced by Series Mania Friday, the 16-title lineup runs the gamut from powerhouses – German pubcaster ARD (“Nuclear Sunset Cruise”), the Lars von Trier-run Zentropa, Iceland’s Glassriver (“Masquerade”) and Israel’s Sipur (“Intimacy”) – to far more contained budget link-ups such as “Wool,” a Serbia-Iceland co-pro. From Tanweer Productions, the Athens-based producer on seminal Leonard Cohen true-life love story “So Long, Marianne, a “darkly comedic mystery,” says creator Tsilifonis, in which a verge-of-burn-out detective returns for rest to his home island of Antiparos, and is embroigled in the most complicated murders he’s faced.
