Audiovisual Producers Finland - APFI, representing Finnish film and TV producers, to offer an exciting selection of Finnish projects at the upcoming Content London event. With most of the projects having been commissioned, they are now seeking international partnerships to bring these unique narratives to a global audience.

APFI’s selection at Content London includes altogether 19 titles, from thrilling crime series and mysteries to romantic dramas. The mystery drama "All the Best Girls", produced by Rabbit Films, takes viewers into the dark atmosphere of the 1980’s and into the life of 16-year-old Lola. The series has already been completed and will also be screened as part of the official Content London program on December 3rd at Kings Place.

There are currently several interesting drama titles in development. "Prime Minister – A Very Finnish Scandal", produced by Vertigo, is inspired by the true story of Sanna Marin — Finland’s youngest Prime Minister. The series is written by Camilla Ahlgren ("The Bridge"), Marcella and Barracuda Queens. Director Timo Vuorensola ("Iron Sky") will make his series directorial debut with "Arrowhead", by Reelmedia, an action-thriller set in St. Tropez.

Other intriguing projects in development include the drama thriller "The Border" by Whatever Pictures, set in the ruggedly beautiful northern wilderness along the Finnish-Russian border.

The Finnish-Korean co-production "Blueprint of a Crime", from Moskito Television, is an elegant psychological thriller. "Sherlock North", by Snapper Films, is a thrilling, cinematic blend of Nordic style and US crime procedural pace.

Scheduled to take place on Wednesday 3rd December, a networking event ”Drinks with the Finns” organised by APFI’s Focus on Finland initiative will connect international industry peers and Finnish producers behind these inspiring new projects.
