High Fidelity Pictures and newly formed sister company Nuworx Productions are set to adapt Behzad Karim Khani’s bestselling novel “Hund, Wolf, Schakal” together with a yet-to-be-announced German broadcasting partner.
Production for the series is due to start next year.
The critically acclaimed novel tells the story of two very differently wired brothers who fled Iran with their father, and must now stand up for themselves on the streets of Berlin.
The book received the Debut Prize at the Harbour Front Literature Festival, along with numerous positive reviews and was on the Shortlist of the Aspekte-Literature-Award.
High Fidelity, led by Sabina Arnold, Züli Aladag and Felix Zackor, develops and produces high-quality fiction series formats and feature films with both a national and international focus, working closely with young talent.
Nuworx Productions has been founded by the trio, under the Beta Group umbrella. Zackor is executive producer, and Arnold and Aladag are co-managing directors.

Leading producer Sabina Arnold (“Irish Crime”) and award-winning filmmaker Züli Aladag (“Nsu – German History X”) are setting up High Fidelity Pictures, a new production company under the Beta Group umbrella.
Felix Zackor, managing director of the production service provider and Beta subsidiary Ffp, will support the new company as a partner in production services.
The filmmakers will produce high-quality fiction series and feature films with a national and international focus. High Fidelity will pay particular attention to the promotion of young talent.
Aladag said: “With High Fidelity Pictures, my focus is shifting from directing to producing. Of course, I will draw on my 20 years of experience as a filmmaker. Developing extraordinary miniseries, series, and feature films together with talented authors is a great pleasure for me. I am in close contact with the next generation and see their immense creativity and energy. To preserve this and carry it forward is a great incentive for me.

Global Screen is to handle international sales on a reboot of the successful German Hanni & Nanni franchise based on Enid Blyton’s classic St Clare’s book series.
The latest adventures of the twins Hanni and Nanni Sullivan at the boarding school Lindenhof have been co-written by Katrin Milhahn and Antonia Rothe-Liermann, who previously collaborated on children’s film Ente gut! Mädchen allein zu Haus.
The $5.2m (€4.6m) German language production by Ufa Fiction with Hermann Florin’s Feine Filme, which will be distributed theatrically in Germany, Austria and Switzerland by Universal Pictures International, is being directed by Babelsberg Film University graduate Isabelle Suba, who made her feature debut in 2014 with the satire Men Show Films and Women Their Breasts.
“It has been our policy on the Hanni & Nanni films to give newcomers an opportunity to direct these films,” Florin explained. “That’s why we had Christine Hartmann for the first film, Julia von Heinz for the...

When We Leave
Directed by Feo Aladag
Written by Feo Aladag,
Germany (2010)
Ironically, the winner of the European Parliament’s 2010 Lux prize, Feo Aladag’s feature debut “When We Leave”, would probably serve well the cause of some member states opposed to Turkey’s entrance into the Union (that the Parliament’s press release uses scare quotes around the egregious misnomer ‘honour killing’ is minorly heartening). The prize, which awards the winning film funding for subtitling into the 23 official EU languages, is in the case of “When We Leave” a double-edged recognition – in the four years of Lux’s existence, this is the second film treating the subject of intergenerational Turkish-German strife. While shedding zetetic light onto the cultural schism gnawing the union, “When We Leave” at times entangles its characters into ethno-cultural stereotyping, albeit as a counterpoint to its unmistakeably humanistic, not to say feminist drift.
