Few companies have put as much energy as Brazilian TV giant Globo into pushing out their new slate during the week when NATPE Miami was scheduled to occur.
Packed with new and retuning hit shows, Globo’s roster marks a robust consolidation of early last year’s business strategy of unifying free TV, pay TV, streaming and digital properties under the name “One Single Globo”.
Rubbing shoulders with burgeoning franchises – the second season of eco thriller “Aruanas,” Season 4 of social issue medical drama “Under Pressure” — is “In Your Place,” the new telenovela that is airing in prime time in Brazil.
The show is created and written by Lícia Manzo, one of the many talented female writers that are propelling a new era of Globo, author of such hits as “The Life We Lead.”
It follows the lives of twin brothers – played charmingly by “Brazil Avenue” star Cauã Reymond – separated at...

Miami — Announcing at Natpe one of its first big new deals, Brazil’s Globo Studios has confirmed the sale of Globoplay exclusive series “Harassment” to Mega, Chile’s broadcast network audience leader.
The deal, clinched by Globo’s Raphael Correa, comes as “Harassment,” which was released by Globo streaming service Globoplay, has just been selected for the Berlin Festival’s prestigious Drama Series Days Market Screenings.
Both developments – the Mega sale; Berlin selection – will serve to highlight “Harassment,” a real life inspired story in the line of Globo’s social-issue limited series – think “Jailers,” “Under Pressure” – portraying how a group of women band together to denounce a renowned physician’s sexual assaults.
“The story only happens because the leads are women with desires, vulnerabilities, and above all else, strength that is essentially feminine,” said lead writer Maria Camargo.
With Mega basing its ratings leadership in Chile on its drama series,...

Miami — In hallowed tradition, Brazilian TV giant Globo unveiled its Natpe line-up on the first day of the Miami trade fair.
With scripted and non-scripted promos playing to a thundering soundtrack Jerry Bruckheimer would have been proud of, this was, as ever for Globo, a polished and powerful presentation. But it also said much about where Globo is going. Five takes from the Jan. 22 Natpe presentation.
1. Globo Moves
In explanations of strategy, from CEO Carlos Henrique Schroder onwards, and the presentation’s motto- “Let’s Move Together” – Globo, by its own admission, is evolving in industry terms. Some indicators:
*Globo is reaching out to international partners for production and distribution, linking to Spain’s Atresmedia Internacional, for Latin American pay TV distribution, for example, and to Telemundo Intl Studios for a Spanish-language reversion of its eight-hour original drama “Doomed” (“Amores robados”).
*The Brazilian TV giant is reaching out to international in general.

There is no doubt that the Brazilians have established themselves as some of the greatest creative minds in the world and therefore, it is no surprise that there was such a large Brazilian presence at this year’s Berlinale film festival. One of the most effective ways to raise social and political awareness is by the means of news, social media and especially films. Director Felipe Braganca has done just that with his first feature film, Don’t Swallow My Heart Alligator Girl.
The film tells the story and struggles of teenage love between a Brazilian boy and Paraguayan native Guarani girl, both caught between the violent conflict and continuous bloodshed on their respective borders. It was truly a pleasure speaking with Felipe and delving deeper into indigenous history in Brazil and South America. I hope this film will enlighten the world and perhaps bring some change...

While there is no official award for best title at the Sundance Film Festival (perhaps there should be), “Don’t Swallow My Heart, Alligator Girl!” would surely be in the running. But if the name doesn’t grab you, certainly the evocative trailer, as it comes loaded with an array of gorgeous images all set to the sounds of composer Carlos Gomes, should.

This is the Pure Movies review of Adrift (À Deriva), directed by Heitor Dhalia and starring Camilla Belle, Vincent Cassel, Laura Neiva, Cauã Reymond, Débora Bloch, Gregório Duvivier and Josefina Schiller. From his breakthrough role in 1995’s La Haine to last year’s excellent Mesrine biopics, Vincent Cassel seemed more often than not to be drawn toward villains and loveable-rogue characters. Audiences could be forgiven, then, for assuming it would be the same here. In fact, the tone of Adrift couldn’t be more different, and Cassel produces a heartfelt performance as a French author and doting father struggling to salvage his marriage with his Brazilian wife.
