MIPTV Spotlight: ORF-Enterprise

CANNES: Character-driven series with the potential to be long-running are what is in demand from the international market, says Marion Camus-Oberdorfer, the head of content sales for international at ORF-Enterprise.

Camus-Oberdorfer has also noticed a trend toward factual-entertainment shows and a stronger appetite for series rather than specials. For MIPTV, she notes highlights from the company’s catalogue such as Beauty, the Beast and the Truth, which is “an emotional story with lavish re-enactments [and] a compelling subject matter showing how ignorance and cruelty can only be overcome by love.” Camus-Oberdorfer also points to Owl’s Odyssey, which she calls “a suspenseful story with amazing shots,” and Return of the Hoopoe as top titles.
