- After a crazy year where they brought six or seven titles to Cannes (including Tulpan, Waltz with Bashir) in various competition categories, this year The Match Factory bring only a pair of titles in Ajami and Kinatay. Nonetheless, they also bring along their batch of well-performing films from Berlin. They aren't a production company, but highly selective sales company that work with producer's from all over the world. And that is why I'm including them in this producer's patch series. Update: they just included Aktan Arym Kubat’s next feature The Light to their stable. Contact High by Michael Glawogger - Completed The Dust Of Time by Theo Angelopoulos - Completed Ajami by Scandar Copti - Completed Dorfpunks by Lars Jessen - Completed Germany 09 (Deutschland 09) by Fatih Akin - CompletedGIGANTE by Adrián Biniez - Completed Kinatay by Brillante Mendoza - Completed The Milk Of Sorrow by Claudia Llosa -

Berlin picks Panorama titles
BERLIN -- Soren Kragh-Jacobsen's Danish political thriller What No One Knows, South African crime drama Jerusalema by Ralph Ziman, Love & Other Crimes by Serbia's Stefan Arsenijevic's and apocalyptic fantasy Before Fall from Spain's Javier Gutierrez are among the titles that have been selected for the Berlin International Film Festival's Panorama sidebar.
The 2008 lineup, which also features the sci-fi dystopia of Mexican director Alex Rivera's Sleep Dealer and the China-to-Moscow murder chase in Brad Anderson's thriller Transsiberian, includes several genre titles amidst the usual mix of serious art house films (represented this year by such titles as Beautiful by Korea's Jaihong Juhn and Russian director Anna Melikyan's Mermaid.)
One of the highlights of this year's Panorama is certain to be the world premiere of Madonna's directorial debut -- the drama Filth And Wisdom, starring Stephen Graham and Richard E. Grant.
Organizers will announce the full Panorama lineup in the coming days.
