Seasoned Danish writer-director Birgitte Stærmose, recently credited for the Netflix show “In From the Cold,” Starz’s “The Spanish Princess” and Göteborg 2023 closing pic “Camino,” debuted her hybrid pic “Afterwar” in the Berlin Film Festival’s Dokument program, after which the film plays at Cph:dox.

Variety has secured in exclusivity the trailer for the helmer’s anti-war pamphlet produced by Magic Hour Films in Denmark (“Burma VJ”) in co-production with Sweden’s Vilda Bomben Film (“Excess Will Save Us”), Finland’s Bufo (“Fallen Leaves”) and Kosovo’s Kabineti.

A meditation on the long-term effects of war, “Afterwar” is the feature-length spinoff of Stærmose’s short film “Out of Love.” The story of a bunch of street kids in Pristina trying to survive in the aftermath of the Kosovo war, snagged multiple awards in 2010, including a Berlinale Generation 14Plus Special Mention.

15 years in the making, “Afterwar” was co-created with four of...

Michihito Fujii has emerged during the recent years as one of the most intriguing voices of Japanese cinema, with movies like “The Journalist”, “Yakuza and the Family” and “Day and Night” setting the tone for an impressive career. In the last few years, he seems to have been employed by Netflix in some way, since a number of his latest works premiere on the streaming platform. Not holding “Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045 – Sustainable War” against him, since everyone who has dealt with that mess has left severely “scarred”, it was really interesting to see what his latest work, “Village” would be like, particularly since it seemed to incorporate a number of the genre elements he implemented excellently in his previous works.

Vicari is directing nine actors inside their own homes, after having sent them a filming kit; the movie explores the emotions of four couples confined to their abodes. The sets may still be closed owing to Covid-19, but Daniele Vicari has found a way to shoot his new film while simultaneously complying with all of the health and union regulations: he is doing so remotely, using smart working. And so the shoot has begun for Il giorno e la notte (lit. “Day and Night”), the ensemble, omnibus film that the man behind Diaz – Don’t Clean up This Blood and The Human Cargo will direct online, from home, in conjunction with his actors, who, in turn, have been provided with a filming kit. “We’ve constructed a story that remains within the confines of the regulations that are being imposed, but without feeling restricted by them. On the contrary, we are.

Despite some major issues in the Japanese movie industry, mostly having to do with the lack of a middle ground between independent and blockbuster movies and continuous denial of some major companies to allow their movies to screen outside Japan, 2019 has been quite a good year for local cinema. The international festival circuit gave a lot of films the opportunity to both screen and find some source of funding outside Japan, while creativity (despite the fact that it derives from manga and novels mostly) remains one of the most significant traits of Japanese cinema.

Without further ado, here are the best Japanese films of 2019, in reverse order, with the focus being, as always, on diversity. Some films may have premiered in 2018, but since they mostly circulated in 2019, we decided to include them.

A Chinese “Life on Mars” is in the works after BBC Studios and Phoenix Entertainment inked a deal to create a Mandarin-language version of the time-travel cop series. BBC Studios will officially unveil the format deal at Showcase, its annual programming market for international buyers, which is now underway in Liverpool, England.

Wang Chao is a Chinese film director and screenwriter, sometimes considered part of the loosely defined “sixth generation. After graduating, he worked for a number of years as a factory worker.

Across the globe the TV industry is being disrupted and turned upside-down by the explosive rise of Ott content consumption — and China is no exception.

As high-speed internet continues to roll out in the country, and 5G transforms the mobile universe, China’s Ott growth is forecast to soon be double that of traditional television.

The astonishing increase not only continues to fuel the power and market shares of China’s Ott streaming giants, but also helps to export Chinese drama serials abroad, as online series of high production value by companies including Tencent, iQiyi and Youku are being acquired by overseas online streaming platforms.

According to PwC’s forecast, China’s Ott sector is expected to see a 16.3% growth in revenue from 2017 to 2022, almost twice the growth rate of traditional television and home video, which are estimated to have a growth rate of 7.9%. Ott will take share from TV...
