GoQuest Media takes new Telekom Serbia series to MIPCOM
 03 Oct 2024
GoQuest Media, a global independent content distributor has acquired distribution rights for three new dramas from Telekom Serbia.

Produced by Telekom Serbia, Režim and RTS, crime drama South Wind: On the Edge (12X50’) previously aired on Superstar TV (Serbia), RTS (Serbia), RTL (Croatia) , POP TV (Slovenia), Voyo (Slovenia and Croatia), BN TV (Bosnia and Herzegovina); explores the conflict between Belgrade drug lord Petar Maraš, and Red, the influential state curator of the Serbian criminal world. Set against the backdrop of the contentious “South Stream” project—intended to transport Russian natural gas across Europe via Bulgaria to Italy—the story follows Maraš as he uses state blackmail to protect himself and his team but realizes he must take greater risks to secure their survival. "South Wind" is one of the most successful drama franchises to emerge from the Balkans in recent years.

In the gritty crime thriller Absolute 100 (6X50’) produced by Telekom Serbia and Firefly Productions; a gifted, young, shooting athlete, Sonya, uses her father’s gun to fatally shoot a local criminal, the son of a powerful politician linked to the underworld, to protect her troubled older brother. Pursued by investigators, Sonya faces the dark reality of more violence to protect her family. Anita Ognjanovic's fierce portrayal of Sonya earned critical acclaim in Serbia, marking one of the most remarkable recent TV performances.

The TV miniseries Air Bridge (6X60’) produced by Telekom Serbia, RTS and Contrast Studios and aired earlier this year on Superstar TV and RTS (Serbia) is a WWII drama centered on the “Halyard Mission”—the largest rescue of downed Allied airmen in aviation history. In the summer of 1944, Serbian civilians, led by General Draža Mihailović’s forces, risked their lives to rescue 508 Americans and other Allied countries’ airmen involved in bombing Romanian oil fields, a key energy resource for Hitler’s army in Europe.


Commenting on the deal, Jimmy George, VP sales and acquisitions at GoQuest Media, said, “The acquisition of these titles aligns with GoQuest Media’s strategic focus this year on building a premium content library for our clients. Telekom Srbija, a long-term partner, consistently delivers some of the region's most competitive titles, both in production quality and storytelling. We are excited to bring these exceptional titles to MIPCOM and remain committed to championing content from the CEE, using our distribution strength to bring them to global audiences.”

Aleksandra Martinovic, Director of Multimedia Division at Telekom Serbia, said: “Telekom Serbia is pleased to announce the expansion of our collaboration with GoQuest Media, a leading independent distributor of entertainment content. This partnership has already yielded significant success, particularly with the distribution of our series Civil Servant, Debt to the Sea, and Secrets of the Grapevine. The Civil Servant series, in particular, has achieved remarkable international reach, thanks to GoQuest Media’s efforts. Building on this fruitful collaboration and the mutual trust between our two companies, Telekom Serbia has decided to entrust GoQuest Media with the distribution of three more of our esteemed projects: the series Absolute 100, South Wind: On the Edge and Air Bridge. We firmly believe these compelling, unique stories have the power to captivate audiences worldwide. This decision marks another step in Telekom Serbia's ongoing mission to bring our stories to screens across the globe, and we are thrilled to continue this exciting journey with GoQuest Media, our trusted partner.”
