MIPCOM Spotlight: Global Screen

CANNES: The high-budget disaster movie Heroes features tons of special-effects shots and a star-studded German cast.

“At MIPCOM, we will be able to present the finished film, which has already been presold in several territories, including an all-rights deal for Japan,” explains Marlene Fritz, the head of TV sales at Global Screen. Fritz adds, “The second season of Weissensee, comprising six further episodes, is highly anticipated by our clients. This multiple-award-winning family drama series from public broadcaster ARD has been praised by critics and viewers alike. Furthermore, we will be able to present the first finished scenes of another ARD program, the partly animated Pinocchio. This stands in the tradition of high-quality children’s programming from Germany, which has a good reputation abroad.”
