In its latest expansive move, independent production house Nevision is opening offices in Barcelona, its first in Europe outside its London-based headquarters.
The Barcelona operation is headed by seasoned publisher, author, journalist and producer Tim Parfitt who will work with Nevision founder James Cabourne to develop scripted series in Spanish for both local and global markets, Nevision announced last week in a written statement.
First up are three projects, two with scribe-helmer Roger Guäl, who broke out with 2002’s “Smoking Room,” an acerbic take on office politics.
Parfitt has lived most of his life in Spain, being dispatched to Madrid in 1987 for six weeks to help launch Spanish Vogue. He ended up staying a decade and running the company as CEO of Ediciones Condé Nast, an experience he recounted in memoir “A Load of Bull – An Englishman’s Adventures in Madrid.” He moved to Barcelona in 2007, authoring art-detective crime thriller “The Barcelona Connection,...

Cannes — As this edition of Canneseries proves once more, Norway is a production hub to be reckoned with. Apart from the local series “Magnus” playing in competition, the festival is hosting producers Silje Hopland Eik and Cindy Hanson, of prolific outlet Cinenord, who are both on hand to present their latest project, “Ice Valley,” as part of Canneseries Drama Producers Pitch forum.
The genre bending project marks the latest TV venture for Cinenord, a production company that has also ushered 28 films. Eik and Hanson spoke with Variety ahead of their pitch session on Tuesday.
What were the roots of “Ice Valley?”
Hanson: It all originated from the fact that Silje and I are both from Bergen, the city at the center of “Ice Valley.” We’ve always been fascinated by this area, this sort of Bermuda Triangle of mysteries that go all the way back to the Viking age. It...
