From Namibian western to animated revenge thriller, from Bosnian family saga to a lesbian vampire breakup story, 10 upscale scripted TV projects were spotlighted at the Berlinale Series Market’s Co-Pro Series on Tuesday morning, representing “unique and bold choices with regard to genre and perspective, on top of great storytelling,” Martina Bleis, Head of the Berlinale Co-Production Market, observed before the presentation..
“This should attract buyers and co-producers now, and will surely convince discerning audiences once they have been made,”
With Oscar winner Simon Beaufoy joining climate change satire “S.O.L.,” created by late Ruth McCance, or Cannes-awarded director Aida Begić now focusing on “Mirrors,” it was a high-profile affair.

The Sarajevo Film Festival has canceled all screenings and all but one of its events on Wednesday after the Bosnia and Herzegovina government declared it to be a “Day of Mourning” following three murders committed in the northeastern Bosnian town of Gradačac on Friday.
The perpetrator, Nermin Sulejmanovic, a bodybuilder, reportedly livestreamed the murder of his first victim, his former wife Nizama Hećimović, on Instagram. He then killed a man and his son, and injured a further three people, before committing suicide. Officials later said some 12,000 people watched the slaying live, and the video received 126 likes.
The festival had previously said it would cancel social events but continue with screenings, workshops, lectures and presentations on Wednesday, but it has now shut down its activities almost entirely.

The Sarajevo Film Festival canceled all screenings and social events on Wednesday, August 16, after the country of Bosnia and Herzegovina declared a day of mourning following a triple murder-suicide that has shocked the country.
The festival, which runs through August 18, suspended its program for the day. The festival also suspended screenings in partner cities Mostar and Tuzla. In place of screenings, organizers will hold a public discussion on the topic of “Femicide in Film, Television, and New Media” at the festival square in downtown Sarajevo.
The discussion will look at artistic and media representations of violence against women and will include filmmakers who have addressed the theme through their own work and social engagement, among them Aida Begić, Vanja Juranić, Kumjana Novakova, director Ademir Kenović, and the actress Nadine Mičić. Nebojša Jovanović will moderate the talk.

The Heart of Sarajevo awards for TV series, the Sarajevo Film Festival’s awards strand for TV shows, unraveled this evening, and they were dominated by two shows, the Serbian comedy Mom and Dad Are Playing War 2 (Tata Se Igraju Rata 2) and the Bosnian drama The Hollow (Kotlina).
Mom and Dad Are Playing War 2 took all six comedy awards during the ceremony. The series was created by the popular Serbian actor Gordan Kičić, who also serves as the lead actor, writer, and producer. The series, produced by Filmkombajn and Rts, follows Veljko, who gets the news his father has died. Upon returning to his family in Belgrade, many home truths are uncovered, and he stays longer than expected.
Speaking with Deadline following the sweep, Kičić said: “It’s a great feeling. I really didn’t believe we’d win all six awards. It’s a success for my production company and my team.

At times Bosnia and Herzegovina has looked like it was stuck in a bit of a no-man’s land when it comes to film production, lacking the financial fire-power to press forward, but its TV series business is booming.
The Southeast European country boasts two Oscar nominations – Danis Tanović’s “No Man’s Land,” which nabbed a statuette in 2002, and Jasmila Žbanić’s “Quo Vadis, Aida?,” which was nominated in 2021 – and its filmmakers have enjoyed success on the festival circuit, but it still hasn’t upped its meagre level of production, especially in terms of fiction features, with only one or two majority Bosnian films produced a year.
The problem lies in the “messy and unregulated model of audiovisual support in general,” according to producer-director Jasmin Duraković, whose film “The Glory of Unhappiness” screens in the Bh Film sidebar at Sarajevo Film Festival, which presents the recent crop of films with investment from Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Eagle Pictures Seals Italy Distribution & Production Deal With Sony
Tarak Ben Ammar’s Italian distribution and production house Eagle Pictures has sealed a distribution and production deal with Sony Pictures Entertainment which will take effect from 2023. “The deal with Sony represents an important step in consolidating the company as one of the biggest players in the sector alongside Disney, Universal and Warner Bros Italia,” said Ben Ammar in a release. Eagle Pictures was Italy’s top-performing distributor in the second quarter of 2022, thanks in part to its long-standing relationship with Paramount which saw it handle the Italian release of Top Gun: Maverick. Under the deal, Eagle Pictures will handle the Italian release of Spe features and the partners will also produce five Italian and European films together, which will then be distributed internationally via Sony’s worldwide distribution network.

After three solemn features centered on the ramifications of war — not just in her home country of Bosnia but, in 2017’s “Never Leave Me,” Syria too — writer-director Aida Begić leaves political conflict behind in her fourth. “A Ballad,” however, charges no less abrasively into the emotional battleground of a young woman’s separation from her long-term partner, and the personal, legal and familial skirmishes that hamper her fight for independence. Very loosely inspired by the 17th-century South Slavic ballad “Hasanaginica,” Begić’s ambitious, jaggedly structured film brashly updates its moral of female sorrow and subservience to far more modern ideals of feminist resolve and rejection of the patriarchy.
Not every one of the film’s swirling subplots lands, just as not all its social and philosophical lines of inquiry come crisply into focus. But this is the most distinctive and artistically exciting work yet from Begić, who won Cannes prizes for her first two features,...

When it comes to creative pedigree, it would be hard to argue with the bona fides of Bosnian crime drama “The Hollow,” which was co-created by Oscar-winning director Danis Tanović (“No Man’s Land”) and had a splashy premiere Saturday night at the Sarajevo Film Festival. The series is directed by Tanović and Bosnian filmmaker Aida Begić, whose latest feature, “A Ballad,” also received the red-carpet treatment this week in Sarajevo’s official competition.
More than just a prestige drama from a region that’s increasingly exporting its shows to the world, however, “The Hollow” could represent a paradigm shift in the countries of the former Yugoslavia, where global streaming services have been acquiring titles such as “The Paper” (Netflix) and “The Silence” (HBO Max) but are yet to put significant investment into local production.

In Bosnian drama series “The Hollow,” a body is found in a museum. As senior inspector Edib Pašić tries to solve the case, he dives deeper and deeper into modern-day Sarajevo. Which hasn’t really changed all that much and keeps protecting its secrets.
“This combination of old and new is something we all carry inside. We are stuck in the past yet experiencing this strange transition in the present,” producer Amra Bakšić Čamo tells Variety. She has co-created the show alongside Danis Tanović, the director of Oscar winner “No Man’s Land.”
Presented in Sarajevo Film Festival’s Avant Premiere Series, “The Hollow” was produced by Scca/pro.ba for Bh Content Lab and Bh Telecom.
“If you go to a random bar in Sarajevo right now, they will play 1980s songs. I don’t know where it comes from. Why haven’t we moved on culturally? Also, we are...

When the first edition of what would become the Sarajevo Film Festival was held in 1995, the Bosnian capital was in the final year of a devastating, four-year siege. Electricity shortages plunged the city into darkness, while food and hard currency were scarce. The inaugural screenings were held in the basement of a bombed-out building – a literal hole-in-the-wall – where tickets could be purchased with cigarettes instead of cash.
The annual event that emerged from the rubble didn’t just contribute to the cultural life of the city. In the early days after the siege, organizers and local clean-up crews got to work around Sarajevo, refurbishing historic buildings that had been destroyed by the shelling and converting them into festival venues. “Everyone who was involved felt that they were contributing to this rebuilding,” says festival director Jovan Marjanović. “The city was almost fully destroyed. And the festival was the place, and this time in the summer,...

Aida Begić’s fourth feature “A Ballad,” which plays in the Competition Program of Sarajevo Film Festival, will mark a significant departure for the Bosnian director, used to tackling serious social issues in her work.
“My first three films were about the consequences of war and now I decided to talk about something else. I was tired,” says the helmer, whose debut feature “Snow” won the Critics’ Week Grand Prize at Cannes, and whose sophomore feature, “Children of Sarajevo,” was awarded the Special Distinction of the Jury in Cannes’ Un Certain Regard lineup.
“If I find it hard to watch one serious film after another, how can I expect, say, my aunt to go to the cinema and really enjoy it? In Bosnia, we are basically forcing people to watch their own lives on the screen. But this film is funny and light, and I am so proud of that,...

Paris-based Mother Production, the company behind hit series “Call My Agent!,” now with Season 4 in development, is teaming with Silex (“French Touch”) and writer-creators Judith Havas and Noemie de Lapparent on “Purple,” a drama set at a ‘90s Paris lesbian nightclub.
Pushing the envelope on French TV’s treatment of gender issues, “Purple” was announced by title at least on Monday as one of the series to be presented at Series Mania’s Co-Pro Pitching Sessions on March 25.
An eight-part, 40 minute-episode series, “Purple” weaves the stories of five women who open a women-only club, Purple, in late ‘90s Paris. Among them are Diane, a young student, fashion model and ingenue who only realizes how little she knows about herself when she meets Manu, an ebullient but insecure nightlife entrepreneur; and Rebecca, Manu’s literature teacher, battling patriarchal conservatism at university.

Female representation and inclusion is a hot topic in Cannes, if sadly lacking in the competition lineup, and industry leaders came together Sunday to plot the next steps for the #MeToo movement.
The morning after an 82-strong group of women took to the steps of the Palais des Festivals to demand change, USC Annenberg professor Stacy L. Smith told a packed session inside the building that projects with inclusion riders should get bumped to the front of the queue for tax relief. The head of the Swedish Film Institute, Anna Serner, pledged that all of her organisation’s funding would go to female-led projects in 2020 if the goal of having a balance is not achieved by that point.
Serner told Variety that the industry has been given fair warning and she is not afraid to divert all 2020 funding to project that hit diversity and inclusion targets if the industry does not correct itself.

There are many touching characters and situations in Never Leave Me (Birakma Beni), the new film by Bosnian writer-director Aida Begic, but these timely tales of traumatized kids have a hard time crystallizing into a full-fledged drama. Returning to the subject of children and war after her 2012 Children of Sarajevo, which got a special jury distinction in Cannes' Certain Regard, she looks beyond the Balkans to the fate of Syrian orphans and child refugees in Turkey. The film opened the Antalya Film Festival, followed by bows at Pingyao and Dubai.

Certainly a project that will be pitched for pre-sales on the Croisette in a couple of months from now, Cineuropa reports that Aida Begic, who is technically far 3 for 4 at the Cannes film festival with 2008′s Snow being followed by Children of Sarajevo (12) and her contribution to omnibus Bridges of Sarajevo (2014), will display Bosnia and Herzegovina with the post-apocalyptic romance genre. A Ballad will be co-produced by the Begic, Film House Sarajevo and Les Films de l’Après-midi (The Strange Case of Angelica prod co. produced most of her films).
Gist: Written by Begic, this is being described as a post-apocalyptic Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Worth Noting: The filmmaker won the Special Jury Prize in the Ucr section in 2012.
Do We Care?: Potentially retuning back to the poeticism found in her well-travelled film festival gem Snow, we can tag this romance at the breaking point of humanity as an early Cannes 2016 possibility.

How sweat it is for Canadian film. There’ll be a maple syruppy touch to the Cannes Film Festival presence to the 67th Cannes Film Festival with a trio of Canuck films among today’s 17 Main Competition (we expect the number to possibly increase by at least one before the fest breaks). We have David Cronenberg, Atom Egoyan and while there is no Denys Arcand this year, the baton has been passed over to Xavier Dolan, who we believe becomes the youngest ever filmmaker to be included in the section. The influx of Canadian helmers means a depletion of U.S fare, with only the opener, Tommy Lee Jones and Bennett Miller breaking into the group.
Of the line-up, the key surprises Damian Szifron’s Wild Tales (which sees Pedro Almodovar as one of the producers) and is baiscally a series of comic sketches and Alice Rohrwacher with only her...

New law will decrease dependence of film production on state budget.
Proposals for a new film law has been presented to representatives of the Parliament of Bosnia and Herzegovina at the Sarajevo Film Festival.
The working body which designed it - Amer Kapetanovic, president of the management board of Film Fund Sarajevo; Jovan Marjanovic, head of industry at the Fund; Amra Baksic Camo, CEO of production company Pro.ba; and Lejla Kablar from Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Foreign Policy Initiative - spoke about the bill to 15 members of the Parliament and Minister of Culture Semir Kaplan.
Updating law
The current cinema law of the Federation of Bh dates back to 1990, and requires updating for today’s conditions, in which Bosnia has to rely on co-productions to be able to make films with average budget on par with the neighbouring countries, which is about $1.3m (€1m).

The working body which designed it - Amer Kapetanovic, president of the management board of Film Fund Sarajevo; Jovan Marjanovic, head of industry at the Fund; Amra Baksic Camo, CEO of production company Pro.ba; and Lejla Kablar from Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Foreign Policy Initiative - spoke about the bill to 15 members of the Parliament and Minister of Culture Semir Kaplan.

Update: The official list has been revealed and the total is a record 71 movies. I have updated the list directly below or you can check it out here. The original article follows. I have been tracking the Oscar Foreign Language submissions again this year, as I have for the past several years, and it looks like we finally have a full field as I expect we will be seeing an official press release from the Academy some time this week. This year we have five more submissions already over last year as the total has now reached 68 submissions compared to last year's 63. This, despite, Iran boycotting the Oscars this year due to the anti-Islam film Innocence of Muslims, which has sparked so much controversy as of late. To reach the total of 68 films I have just finished adding 16 more titles to the list from the following countries: Afghanistan, Algeria, Argentina,...

To siphon out front-runners is never easy in this category, though there are a few that stick out immediately.
