MIPCOM Spotlight: Filmax International

CANNES: Filmax International is coming to MIPCOM armed with two seasons of The Red Band Society.

Headquartered in Barcelona, Filmax International has solidified a strong position for itself within the international film industry. However, the company is also in the series business, with titles such as The Red Band Society. Iván Díaz, the director of the international division at Filmax International, says that the show, produced by Filmax for TVC, had an excellent first season, which is why expectations are high for the 15 new episodes.

“We are also presenting the TV movie The Visitor of Prisons, a great production from Distinto Films for TVC and TVE that follows the narrative of grand productions on historical [female] figures,” Díaz says. The drama is based on real events, telling the story of a revolutionary woman who took a stand against the conditions of women’s prisons. Filmax also has the action thriller No Rest for the Wicked, a Spanish-language film, the remake rights for which have already been sold to the U.S.
