RUSSIAN DRAMA “THE OUTBREAK” SELECTED TO FRESH TV IN VIRTUAL CANNES
Russian mini-series by Pavel Kostomarov selected for Canneseries last year gets on Fresh TV Fiction list at MIPTV Online+
Virginia Mouseler, co-founder of the WIT research company chose “The Outbreak” to be the only Russian project in Fresh TV Fiction – the exclusive selection of the most buzzing shows from around the globe. The series from PREMIER Studios tells about lethal virus pandemic that outbursts in Moscow and forces the main character (performed by Kirill Käro) flee with his wife (Viktoria Isakova) and her son, as well as his ex-wife (Mariana Spivak, “Loveless”) and their child.
The story is based on the best-selling novel “Vonglake” by Yana Vagner.
“The work of Pavel Kostomarov is not about the epidemic itself, but about people and their choice whether or not to preserve humanity in themselves. Now many viewers have an opportunity to reassess their priorities and their values. I think this is the main thing about what is happening now,” – says Valery Fedorovich, the producer of PREMIER Studios.
“The WIT only picks shows which has stirred social buzz and were vivdly discussed on social networks. “The Outbreak”, created long before the coronavirus pandemic somehow predicted the context in which we all live now. The story and choices that characters have to make were relevant in the first place, yet now they appeal to any person in any country in the world. The project has it all for reaching global audiences: powerful script, universally relevant problems and a very acute understanding of our time,” adds Alexandra Modestova, CEO of Expocontent (the official representative of MIPTV, MIPCOM, MIPJunior, MIPDoc, MIPFormats, MIPCancun, MIPChina in Russia, Ukraine and the CIS countries).
The world premiere of “The Outbreak” took place last April in Cannes as part of the main competition of the Cannes International Series Festival (CANNESERIES) in France. The film version of “The Outbreak” entered main competition of the Moscow International Film Festival.
In Russia, the title is available exclusively on the PREMIER platform.
