Marta Balaga The Alliance, which brings together European broadcasters France Télévisions, Italy’s RAI and Germany’s ZDF in a commissioning partnership, announced the development of a new series “The Kollective” at Rome’s MIA Market on Wednesday. France Télévisions, RAI and ZDF decided to join forces back in 2018 to develop and co-produce high-end TV dramas aimed at a broad audience. To date, they have produced nine series, ranging from thrillers to science-fiction, including historical drama “Leonardo,” pictured above. “The Kollective” is a six-episode investigative series created by Leonardo Fasoli and Maddalena Ravagli, also behind hugely popular “Gomorrah” and “ZeroZeroZero.” Femke Wolting is on board as an executive producer.
The series, it was revealed, deals with timely issues, such as the spread of fake news, the attacks on European democracy and the freedom of the press. Based on a true story, it’s a “modern spy story where spies are ordinary people.” Or rather, a group of passionate amateur journalists who enter the world of corruption, espionage and even murder. As they battle to uncover the mystery of a shadowy new Cold War, slowly realizing that all roads lead back to Putin’s resurgent Russia, they must call on their technological skills, bravery and youthful self-belief to stop a dark conspiracy. A new call for projects was also announced, with the Alliance looking for “organically international” European drama co-productions that inspire “desire, provoke emotion and arouse reflection,” mainly set in Italy, France and Germany. “Series with a positive tone, generous in its approach, with a contemporary appeal.

Rome’s MIA Market Wraps Strong Edition With ‘The Abbess’ From Britain’s Warp Films Taking Drama Project Prize
Nick Vivarelli International Correspondent Rome’s MIA, a market dedicated to international TV series, feature films, animation and documentaries, wrapped its eighth edition on Saturday on a positive note boasting a 20% rise in attendance compared with 2021, having attracted more than 2,400 registered industry execs from 60 countries, more than half of which from Italy. However, the pandemic was still limiting travel last year, which makes comparisons difficult. The mood was undoubtedly upbeat in the halls and terraces of central Rome’s Palazzo Barberini – which besides being Italy’s national ancient art gallery is also the market’s main hub – and in the adjacent state-of-the-art Cinema Barberini movie theater during five days of curated dealmaking and dozens of panels and project pitching sessions involving 70 TV, film, doc and animation projects.

Rome MIA New Chief Gaia Tridente on Boosting the Curated Content Market’s International Standing
Nick Vivarelli International Correspondent Rome’s innovative MIA market dedicated to international TV series, feature films, and documentaries kicks off its eighth edition Tuesday, headed by new chief Gaia Tridente, who has added an animation section and been busy raising the curated mart’s international profile. The Oct. 11-15 MIA mart – its acronym stands for the Mercato Internazionale Audiovisivo or International Audiovisual Market – this year is positioned prior to the Mipcom content market and conference that runs Oct. 17-20 in Cannes, since Mipcom has shifted its dates back. But this non-voluntary repositioning has not impacted the number of registered MIA attendees, which is up more than 12% compared with past editions. More than 900 international industry execs are registered for the boutique event being held in central Rome’s Palazzo Barberini, which is Italy’s National Ancient Art gallery that during MIA doubles as the market’s hub where company stands are set up amid Renaissance and Baroque masterpieces. Screenings are held in a nearby state-of-the-art multiplex.
