Keshet International revealed its Fall slate of international scripted and nonscripted content. The list includes “Furia,” feature documentary “9/11,” “The Twenty-Year Anniversary,” and various finished tape and covid-19 safe formats. “We look forward to showcasing our slate to clients over the coming weeks and connecting them with content that works for their schedules, whether it's a quality factual finished tape, or COVID-safe formats,” Keren Shahar, KI’s COO and President of Distribution said.
Nent Group and ZDF’s “Furia’,” created by Gjermund Stenberg Eriksen and produced by Norway’s Monster Scripted and Germany’s X Film Creative Pool, is directed by Magnus Martens and Lars Kraume. The female-led 8-part thriller showcases the violent right-wing extremism. It stars starring Ine Marie Willmann, who plays an undercover cop named Ragna. The movie is currently being filmed in Norway and Germany for a 2021 release. Created by Arthur Cary and produced by Top Hat Productions for BBC One’s 2021 schedule, the documentary “9/11: The Twenty-Year Anniversary” examines the tragic terroristic occurrence that took place in the United States in 2001. KI pre-sold the film in France to Canal+Group, in Denmark to TV2, in Sweden to TV4, in the Netherlands to RTL, and in the United States to Discovery. “We are honored to be headlining our Fall slate alongside such prestigious and internationally relevant titles as Furia and 9/11: The Twenty-Year Anniversary,’” Shahaar said. “Our world may have fundamentally changed, but what we do hasn’t.”
