MIPCOM Spotlight: Filmax International

CANNES: The star of the Filmax International slate is the series The Red Band Society.

Following the show’s successful broadcast of season two on the public Catalan network TV3 and later on Spain’s national network Antena 3, Filmax is heading to Cannes to close up the remaining territories that have not yet picked it up. The series has already been sold into, among other territories, the U.S., French-speaking Europe, German-speaking Europe and Mexico. “While buyers are waiting for news about a possible third season of the Albert Espinosa-penned show, in 2014 big adaptations of the original series will be broadcast in Italy, Chile and Peru,” says Ivan Diaz, the head of the company’s international division. Other Spanish product on offer from the company includes the TV movie The Visitor of Prisons and the feature film Invader.
