'Stateless' & 'Mystery Road' bound for Berlin International Film Festival 2020
Congratulations to our clients Emma Freeman and Blake Ayshford, whose projects Stateless and the second series of Mystery Road will have their world premieres at the sixth edition of the Berlin International Film Festival’s Berlinale Series.
Stateless was directed by Emma Freeman and Jocelyn Moorehouse, and co-created by Cate Blanchett, Tony Ayres and Elise McCredie. The series stars Yvonne Strahovski, Cate Blanchett, Jai Courtney, Fayssal Bazzi and Asher Keddie in the six-part drama centred on the Australian detention centre crisis. Stateless is a Matchbox Pictures and Dirty Films production with major production investment from Screen Australia and the ABC and support from the SAFC.
Mystery Road 2 was script produced by Blake Ayshford, and directed by Warwick Thornton and Wayne Blair. The second season of the hit show follows Aaron Pedersen’s detective Jay Swan as a headless corpse is discovered while he has to contend with protests against the excavation of an Indigenous site.
The second series was written by Steve McGregor, Blake Ayshford, Kodie Bedford, Timothy Lee and Danielle MacLean, and produced by Bunya Productions and Dark Matter Media.
The Berlinale Series runs from February 24-27 in the Berlin Zoo Palast.
