Spain’s Mago Production will produce the animated TV series “Polinopolis” in co-production with France’s Godo Films and Mexico’s Apapacho Films. Barcelona-based Goldbee will handle international sales.
Also co-producing are public broadcasters Tve and Tvc in Spain, as well as Argentine state kids channel Pakapaka, and the Catalan Institute of Cultural Companies (Icec). The series is written and directed by Martín Guido.
“Polinopolis” is a 52-part series about family, friendship and diversity, in which each episode centers on five friends sharing a first-time experience. It “has a blend of unique characters who, despite their differences, learn to deal with their first-time experiences together, supporting each other,” Goldbee sales head Christophe Goldberg told Variety. The series has a “strong message for today’s youth, at a time where inclusion is on everyone’s mind,” he added.

Cesc Gay’s “The People Upstairs,” David Victori’s “Cross the Line,” Kike Maíllo’s “A Perfect Enemy” and David Matamoros and Ángeles Hernández’s “Isaac” are among a robust 11-feature pack offered by Upcoming Catalan Films at Cannes’ online Marché du Film.
An acclaimed Catalan director of dramedy focused on middle-aged, urban, often lost characters, in “The People Upstairs” Gay (“Truman”) depicts an ordinary situation— a couple having dinner with neighbors — in which a friendly time together gradually slips towards emotional upheaval.
Mario Casas-starrer “Cross the Line” is director David Victori’s (“The Pact”) second feature. A one-night thriller, it follows a more or less good guy dedicated to taking care of his sick father who, after his dad passes, decides to get his life back on track. In the process, he “asks questions of himself he never imagined he would,” Victori explains.
“A Perfect Enemy” is the newest thriller from Kike Maíllo.

Mexico’s Cinema226, run by Marco Antonio Salgado and Sam Guillén, is driving into a raft of Mexico, Argentina and Spain co-productions, playing off the current vibrancy of Mexican film production funding and distribution outlets.
Among the projects are titles which have been standouts at Ventana Sur’s Blood Window, the next film by Mexico-based Argentine filmmaker Paula Markovitch and films by young Mexican and Argentine cineasts which have participated in laboratories and co-production events around the world.
Salgado and Guillén are also tapping into production partnerships with producers based out of Córdoba, which can bring extra film financing to productions beyond federal support from Incaa. Whilst some past incentive lines from Incaa have closed, Córdoba film support, though finite in budget, looks still to be strong.
“Thanks to Eficine 189 Mexico is a more active participant in the field of international co-productions,” Salgado told Variety. “Because of this, between 50% and...
