MIPTV Spotlight: Bavaria Media International

Bavaria Media International is presenting the six-part suspense and adventure series Codex 632, based on the best-selling novel of the same name by José Rodrigues dos Santos.

“Stories about secrets and conspiracies around well-known historical figures and events have always attracted big audiences,” says Helge Köhnen, head of content sales. “Codex 632 contains exactly this key element.”

He continues, “The main intrigue is built around the world-famous historical figure Christopher Columbus and his origins, and the plot cleverly brings together historical heritage with a detective story.”

The company is also presenting the Canadian thriller Chaos, set around a dramatic explosion during a concert by a popular band.

Meanwhile, the two-parter Alice, which premiered on German TV last year, uncovers the life and work of 1970s feminist icon Alice Schwarzer.

“In addition to 
sales, we are 
actively acquiring new content for distribution at all stages of production,” Köhnen notes.
