BERLIN: A longtime attendee of Berlinale, New Films International is returning this year with a slate of series, including Undercover and New York, as well as films such as The Sound and the Fury.

The Sound and the Fury is a top-quality artistic movie directed by James Franco and he is also starring in it,” says Nesim Hason, the founder of New Films International.

There’s a fifth season of Undercover being presented as well. “Undercover is our hit action/crime show, which was sold in 184 countries in the world so far and it keeps selling,” says Hason.

The series New York blends elements of action, crime and comedy to tell the story of Israeli immigrants living in New York City. Hason says it has an “amazing story” at its center.

“We are planning to focus on making sales for our catalogue titles as well as TV series,” Hason asserts.
