BERLIN -- Attendees at this year's Berlin International Film Festival and sister confab the European Film Market were hustling through light snowstorms to more meetings than ever, despite only flickering star wattage and minimal buzz so far from this year's Competition lineup. But as the festival and market reached their midpoints Monday, the German capital was full to bursting with buyers and sellers rushing to and from meetings and striking deals on everything from treatments and scripts to finished movies. The market is living up to its early press as being a busy flesh-presser now that the American Film Market has switched to fall dates, with hotels packed to capacity and reps from most major U.S. and European companies wheeling and dealing. Major hotel lobbies are witnessing heavy traffic. Greene Street Films International chief Cedric Jeanson, a veteran Berlin attendee, said he thought there were a lot of people in Berlin for the first time because there will be no AFM in the following weeks.

NEW YORK -- GreeneStreet Films -- the indie banner whose credits include Swimfan and In the Bedroom -- is embarking on its first nonfiction feature, Once in a Lifetime, to be produced by Oscar winner John Battsek. To be financed by GreeneStreet and the BBC, Lifetime will follow the rise and fall of 1970s pro soccer team the New York Cosmos. The film also will explore New York in that famously decadent and creative era and the culture of American celebrity. Lifetime is being executive produced by Passion Pictures' Andrew Ruhemann and Michael Davies. The Cactus Three shingle's Krysanne Katsoolis, Julie Goldman and Caroline Stevens are co-executive producing. "It's exciting to be working with a company of the caliber of GreeneStreet," said Battsek (One Day in September). "Their enthusiasm shows that the currency of feature docs is continuing to appreciate." GreeneStreet Films International, the sales arm of GreeneStreet headed by Cedric Jeanson, will be handling rights to the film at the upcoming AFM. GreeneStreet's upcoming slate includes Sally Potter's Yes, starring Joan Allen and Sam Neill; the thriller Slow Burn, starring Ray Liotta, LL Cool J, Mekhi Phifer and Taye Diggs; and the Killer Films co-production Positively Fifth Street.

Whisper it softly, but many attendees traveling to MIFED this weekend believe there are signs that international markets may be making a comeback and that a return to sound dealmaking levels may be possible. For some buyers and sellers from around the globe, the prospects for the Milan-based confab starting Sunday appear encouraging after a downbeat 2 1/2 years burdened by global economic unrest and the effects of Sept. 11 and the Iraq war. MIFED itself, however, may be facing its swan song as a major annual event faces a serious challenge from the American Film Market for its time-honored fall date. "People have been hoping for a while for a rebound from Europe and a market recovery," said Cedric Jeanson, the former Miramax International executive who now heads GreeneStreet Films International, which is making its market debut at MIFED. "Already, we have seen signs (of a recovery) from Cannes earlier this year, and I think people will be traveling to MIFED looking for confirmation of that."...
