MIPCOM Spotlight: NTV Broadcasting Company

The war drama Brass Sun, which is being showcased by NTV Broadcasting Company, centers on a small military orchestra caught in a guerilla conflict in Central Asia.

“It’s a dramatic masterpiece, and it’s based on true events very few people know about, which makes it original,” says Timur Weinstein, general producer at NTV Broadcasting Company.

The thriller Beyond Death sees an almost-retired detective and a young doctor investigating a case where a corpse mysteriously disappears from the morgue. “Intricate plot lines mix together three different stories that unfold the mysteries of hundreds of WWII soldiers’ deaths and even a terrorist plot,” says Weinstein. “After such a successful run, the series will return for season two very soon.”

The thriller The Crow, meanwhile, follows a female in the law-enforcement system who is repeatedly met with discrimination.

“A diversity of ideas, international appeal and spectacular production quality put NTV’s programs among the most popular in Russia,” says Weinstein.
