What's Happening in Film and TV
The world of film and television is abuzz with new projects, premieres, and festivals. From Series Mania's lineup to the Sands Film Festival, here's a rundown of what's new and exciting.
Series Mania's Seriesmakers
SeriesMakers, a part of the Series Mania festival, has revealed its full lineup, featuring projects from acclaimed directors and producers. Jennifer Weiss, producer of Brian de Palma's "Redacted," and Nomvuselelo Dlamini, who worked on Disney's "Kizazi Moto: Generation Fire," are among those with projects in the lineup. These projects take off from a downbeat reality into comedy, fantasy, or passion.
Intimate Documentaries
Elvira Lind and Oscar Isaac waited almost a decade to share "King Hamlet," an intimate documentary about Isaac's preparation to play Shakespeare's most famous character. The film is a precious, intimate look at the couple's early marriage. Meanwhile, Taekyung Tanja Inwol explores belonging as an adoptee from Korea in "Homesick," a raw family chronicle that travels between Western Denmark and South Korea.
Breaking into British TV Drama
Samuel Kissous' production outfit Pernel Media is a rare breed in having its HQ outside of Britain but now being one of the trusted drama producers in the UK. Kissous' journey from French documentaries to British TV thrillers starring David Suchet and Joanna Scanlan isn't traditional, but he insists his work has always had a throughline.
Sands Film Festival Returns
Scotland's Sands film festival has set the lineup for its fifth edition, which will run from April 17 – 19. Headline speakers include Charlie Kaufman, Laura Mulvey, Joe Russo, and composer Craig Armstrong. The festival was founded by the Russo Brothers' independent studio AGBO.
