Berlinale Spotlight: all3media international

BERLIN: Making its first outing at Berlinale, all3media international is showcasing Ice, a thriller set at an Antarctic research station.

The company is also promoting the series Murder Detective, set in Sarajevo in the early 1990s during the war. These projects are “great fits for the Berlinale market as they are all set in precincts where you naturally have many different nationalities and backgrounds coming together,” says David Swetman, a senior acquisitions executive at all3media international. “These projects are on a large, multi-broadcaster scale and ambition with plenty of space for engaged creative partners from around Europe.”

Another highlight is 800 Words. “It’s a charming story of personal tragedy and positive chaos and has surefire appeal in the remake market,” says Swetman.

“We haven’t attended Berlinale before but it’s clear that, even after a relatively short time as a TV market, producers and broadcasters alike see this as the market to broker co-production deals,” Swetman says.
