The company will also have a screening of Living On A Razor’s Edge at CanneSeries, produced by AfroReggae Audiovisual, in partnership with Formata Produções e Conteúdo and Globoplay.
Globo will showcase its latest releases and highlights, such as the series The End and The Others, at MIPTV, the festival in Cannes that brings together major names in the entertainment industry, in addition to the sale of scripted formats.
The company will also have a screening of ‘Living On A Razor’s Edge’, on the 6th, at 3 p.m., at CANNESERIES, a parallel event to MIPTV, that celebrates the best television works in the world. The Globoplay Original series was the only representative from Brazil selected for the festival and competes for awards with productions from countries such as China, Spain, and Germany.
Produced by AfroReggae Audiovisual, in partnership with Formata Produções e Conteúdo and Globoplay, Living On A Razor’s Edge was created by José Junior (Anti-Kidnapping Unit) and narrates in eight episodes the sociologist Herbert de Souza’s (1935-1997) fight for major social causes. The series is directed by Lipe Binder and features names such as Julio Andrade (Under Pressure), who is also part of the directing team, Humberto Carrão (All The Flowers), Leandra Leal (Justice: Life Is Not Fair), Andréia Horta (In Your Place), Ravel Andrade (Aruanas), Walderez de Barros (Once We Were Six), Michel Gomes, and Sirlea Aleixo.
“We are very happy with yet another international recognition for Living On A Razor’s Edge. We were the only Brazilians at the Berlinale Series Market in February and we continue on this successful journey with the selection for CanneSeries. In addition, we are taking our latest releases to MIPTV, with products ranging from action and drama series to plots aimed at younger audiences and documentary series”, comments Gabriel Doria, Content Distribution and Partnerships.
Globo is also investing on the sale of scripted formats, a business model that recently included the sale of Brazil Avenue, Globo’s most successful product, for adaptation with the Turkish producer Ay Yapim. Among the titles in the portfolio at MIPTV are Total Dreamer, by Rosane Svartman, and The Life We Lead, by Lícia Manzo, contents recognized in the international market, which have already been licensed for more than 100 territories.
Other highlights at MIPTV are the Globoplay Originals series The End and The Others. Created and written by Fernanda Torres, with artistic direction by Andrucha Waddington (Under Pressure) and direction by Daniela Thomas, The End follows a group of friends, and their joys, craziness, and frustrations, over four decades. The Others, by Lucas Paraizo (Under Pressure), with artistic direction by Luisa Lima (Where My Heart Is), brings discussions about intolerance and the difficulty of dialogue in today’s society.
Globo’s portfolio for MIPTV also includes Globoplay Originals such as We Are Five, which had its third and final season recently released, The Brazilian Mafia, The Life Ahead, Justice: Life Is Not Fair, the franchises of Anti-Kidnapping Unit, and Vicky and the Muse, as well as the telenovelas Land of Desire and Crossed Paths.
