The Island

West Berlin, 1978. Chaos rules: the emergence of punk, illegal occupation, old values against new ones. Three detectives from very different sides set off to investigate a cruel, sexually motivated murder case.

Producers at Work are happy to be supported by MEDIA for the series “The Island”, which is planned as a 6-part German-Danish-British co-production, with 50,000 euros. The project is based on the crime bestseller by author duo Christian Dorph / Simon Pasternak.

125,000 euros to three German projects: Out of 342 submissions in April 2019, 70 projects were supported with a total of 2.73 million euros, which corresponds on average to two successful applications per member country. Nearly half of the selected projects come from the so-called five large countries, in which Germany scores almost the worst with just three funded projects. This is a success of disappointing 12.5 percent. Only the British faced with the Brexit, who entered the race with 18 submissions, are still behind the local industry with two commitments.
