MIPCOM Spotlight: STUDIOCANAL

Set in present-day France, the STUDIOCANAL highlight Savages follows as the first presidential candidate of Algerian descent is on the brink of power, but is shot on the night of the election, causing turmoil for two families and the nation as a whole.

“Savages is a high-end, glossy thriller that has an exceptional global storyline with universal themes of power and family, set against a backdrop of contemporary political change,” says Beatriz Campos, head of international sales.

The Collapse is an eight-part anthology, in which each episode focuses on the limits of industrial society. It explores the question, what would become of society if essential resources became scarce?

The true-crime drama On Death Row is about a man convicted of murder who is fighting to get a fair trial.

“Buyers are looking for dramas that will deliver original, globally relevant storylines with compelling characters,” says Campos.
