Josh Hartnett Starrer ‘The Fear Index,’ ‘False Flag’ S3 to Screen at Berlinale Series Market Selects
“The Fear Index,” starring Josh Hartnett, and the third season of iconic Israeli series “False Flag” will both screen at the Berlinale Series Market Selects, whose lineup was unveiled Tuesday.
The latest from “The Crown” producers Left Bank Pictures, Sky Original “The Fear Index” is billed as a fast-paced, gripping Frankenstein-style parable on the dangers of AI. Based on the Robert Harris novel of the same title, its international sales will be handled by NBCUniversal Global Distribution.
Sold by Keshet International, “False Flag” is one of milestone titles that turned Israel’s series into a global brand, with Fox International taking the world on season one at 2015’s Mipcom in its first global acquisition of a foreign-language series.
Season three marks the return of both original series creators, Maria Feldman and Amit Cohen, in a tale which looks set to weave the same web of distrust, deception and sudden twists as the first two seasons.

Eighteen years after she was informed of her newborn’s sudden death, a Belgrade seamstress still believes her infant son was stolen from her. Coldly dismissed by neighbors, the police, and hospital officials as paranoid, she summons up the strength to uncover the truth on her own in a riveting drama pulled from real-life events.
Miroslav Terzić’s “Stitches,” which world premiered at the Berlin Film Festival, features an engrossing performance by Snežana Bogdanović, one of the most celebrated actresses of former Yugoslavia. The film is produced by Uliks Fehmiu and Milena Trobozić Garfield for West End Productions, and co-produced by Nora Production Group (Slovenia), Spiritus Movens (Croatia) and Scca/Pro.Ba (Bosnia and Herzegovina).

White White World
Directed by Oleg Novkovic
Writen by: Milena Markovic
Serbia, 2010
Trying too hard may be what stunts the otherwise portentous storyline and hefty characterisation in White White World by Serbian director Oleg Novkovic, a fourth feature film well-travelled around European festivals. Staking its bets on oft-employed tropes of Balkanness such as grotesque modes of conflict resolution (bottles smashed on heads, fist fights in dumpsters), feral non-verbalised feelings, and the mandatory array of freakish characters set against a fuzzy backdrop of some national tragedy or other (in this case, hopeless industrial decline and generalised national despondency), the film, although abounding in dramatic energy, fails at invoking sympathy for the larger-than-life protagonists.
And sympathy is what they are all after: each main character is granted a dirge-like singing act lamenting the tragedy of their respective destinies. Wading full-on into Greek tragedy territory, the story centres around a fatal teenage beauty,...

Zillion Film
Returning to his childhood home in Belgrade after a dozen years of living abroad, a young man discovers nothing has changed -- and everything has changed -- in Oleg Novkovic's quietly reflective and keenly perceptive Tomorrow Morning (Sutra Ujutru).
Screened at the recent Palm Springs International Film Festival, Serbia's foreign-language Oscar submission serves as a notable first screenplay for acclaimed poet and playwright Milena Markovic, and it knows no geographical boundaries when it comes to its appraisal of the complex bonds of friendship and family.
After spending the past 12 years of his life living and working in Canada, Nele (Uliks Fehmiu) has come back home for his wedding, but what was supposed to be a joyful reunion with his parents and his old buddies gets considerably more complicated as the prodigal son realizes he'd left a lot of emotional baggage behind.
The bulk of it belongs to Sasha (Nada Sargin), his old girlfriend who still carries a formidable torch when she's not hoisting too many drinks. It turns out those feelings remain quite mutual, which puts a serious damper on Nele's nuptials.
Novkovic mines beautifully etched performances from his ensemble, especially from moody Sargin and Radmila Tomovic as Ceca, another of Nele's former flames (our boy got around), who eventually settled for amiable but immature Bure (Ljubomir Bandovic).
Like the healing country in which they live, Tomorrow Morning shows a group of lives in transition. But underneath the unspoken resentments stemming from the pang of missed opportunities, there's still a glint of optimism lurking in that bleak landscape.
