MIPCOM Spotlight: ON TV

CANNES: ON TV is working to complete the Televisión por… trilogy with Televisión por la justicia, which will deal with cases of institutional injustice.

In 2008, ON TV won an International Emmy Award for the mini-series Televisión por la identidad, and last year, the stars of Televisión por la inclusión, Darío Grandinetti and Cristina Banegas, were recognized with an International Emmy for best actor and best actress, respectively.

“We just won a competition with [Argentina’s] National Institute of Cinema and Audiovisual Arts to do a cycle of 13 units that will finish the saga,” says Claudio Villarruel, ON TV’s president and co-founder. Regarding Argentina being the country of honor at MIPCOM, Bernarda Llorente, VP and co-founder, says that it gives the company “the opportunity to better showcase the Argentine productions.”
