Germany’s impressive crop of crime drama, mystery, suspense, apocalyptic catastrophe, royal intrigue and tales of the supernatural is certain to attract buyers at this year’sThe selections of series, TV movies and unscripted shows offer a wide range of content but also remain heavy on crime — a favorite German genre.
Social planning is also at the center of “Concordia,” a futuristic drama from “Game of Thrones” producer Frank Doelger and his Berlin-based Intaglio Films. Sold by ZDF Studios, the six-part series centers on a utopian city powered by artificial intelligence that has improved lives, eliminated crime and powered a booming economy. Chaos ensues, however, when the AI system is hacked, a city analyst is found dead and a shocking truth is exposed that may undermine the city’s very existence.
Telling another story of modern-day families, Caroline Link — who directed Oscar-winner “Nowhere in Africa” — explores psychotherapy for children and adolescents in “Safe.” Produced by Claussen + Putz Filmproduktion, the eight-part ZDF Studios series focuses on Berlin therapists Katinka and Tom , their personal lives and their young patients. “As a director I naturally have an interest in psychology,” says Link.
Produced by Contrast Film and Letterbox, the six-part series is set in the Swiss resort town, where high-ranking members and political elites of all warring nations come to recuperate during the war. Brits, Germans, Russians and Italians end up neighbors as they recover in the town’s famous sanitorium, leading to high tensions and an ideal setting for spies.
