MIPTV Spotlight: New Films International

CANNES: There are now more than 1,000 Turkish films under the New Films International sales umbrella.

“With this catalogue, our plan is to help channels launch TV stations dedicated to Turkish films,” says Nesim Hason, the founder of New Films.

The company’s catalogue also features the series Undercover, a fifth season of which is coming soon. The show has been sold into more than 180 countries so far, according to Hason, “and it keeps selling. There are only a few countries left” for it to be licensed to.

There’s a second season on the way of the Israeli series New York. “New York is a very rare combination of comedy, action and crime,” says Hason.

MIPTV will mark the launch of sales for the new feature film The Inquisition of Camilo Sanz for New Films as well.
