At in Lille (March 23–26), Seriesly Berlin presents a delegation of emerging series producers and creators from Germany’s capital region, bringing their standout projects to the international market.

As special guests, supported by Albi :

Samira Saraya, Neta Weiner & Michal Cooper-Keren.samira / /

Their project “Hands Up” is a musical drama rooted in lived experiences of migration and Berlin’s hip-hop scene. It follows Geva, an Israeli musician, and Manal, a Palestinian singer, who are brought together for a high-stakes collaboration. As their music gains traction, their growing fame begins to turn dangerous. Caught between political pressure, family expectations, and growing public scrutiny, they are forced to risk their relationships, their future, and even their lives for the freedom to be heard.

Palestinian artist and filmmaker Samira Saraya and Israeli rapper, musician and actor Neta Weiner collaborate with acclaimed writer and showrunner Michal Cooper-Keren to bring this vibrant, emotionally charged musical drama to the screen. Drawing from their artistic and political engagement, including their work with the hip-hop collective System Ali, the series blends klezmer and Arabic classical music traditions with Berlin electronic beats, creating a hybrid sound that is both politically charged and deeply personal.

Samira, Neta and Michal’s participation is made possible through Seriesly Berlin’s partnership with Albi, which began last September with the panel “Stories for Tomorrow: How Collaborative Palestinian and Israeli Writing Transforms Television.” The three creators are part of the current cohort of Albi’s Shared Society on the Small Screen program.

If you’re at Series Mania, we invite you to connect with them and discover more about this bold and timely project.

Thanks to Libby Lenkinski ( ) & Keren Michael ( ) for making this all possible!

Now featuring: Sebastian Herbst & Jessica Hölzl

Producer Sebastian Herbst and writer Jessica Hölzl are presenting “Ignition”, a high-stakes series project set in the underworld of modern-day rural Thuringia.

To save her family’s failing garage, a proud East German car mechanic becomes a reluctant accomplice to a gang of outlaw bikers. But as the intoxicating thrill of empowerment behind the wheel pulls her deeper into a dangerous criminal path, she is forced to confront a defining question: is true freedom in a rigged system worth the ultimate price?
Will she stay behind the wheel — or get under it?

Sebastian, producer and co-founder of PICTURES (.pictures ), focuses on innovative storytelling at the intersection of film and technology. Jessica Hölzl, a screenwriter and dramaturge, brings a strong voice for female-driven stories that explore underrepresented milieus and perspectives.

“Ignition” has been officially selected for the Series Mania Forum Co-Pro Pitching Sessions 2026. Make sure to see Sebastian and Jessica pitching their project on the main stage on March 24 at 10:00, and connect with them afterwards — or reach out in advance to arrange a meeting.

Seriesly Berlin is back at Series Mania!

From March 23–26, we’re bringing a delegation of emerging series producers and creators from Germany’s capital region to in Lille. Over the next days, we’ll introduce the official members of the Seriesly Berlin delegation. Their projects stood out among a large number of applications and are now looking for international partners for development, co-production, and distribution.

Today we start with producer Simon Kiefer (Saxonia Media) and writer Lena Fakler.

Together they are developing a series adaptation of Kate Evans’ graphic novel “Red Rosa” about the life of Rosa Luxemburg. Her life offers the perfect blueprint for a gripping political thriller series — and one that is, unfortunately, highly topical. At a time when fascism is on the rise again, Luxemburg’s story stands as a powerful example of humanity and the strength that can grow from the conviction to do the right thing, while also revealing the risks involved in standing up for one’s political beliefs.

If you’re attending Series Mania, don’t miss the opportunity to meet them on site and learn more about this timely and compelling project.
