The series set in 1920s Berlin is being hailed as game-changer for German film and TV.
German directors and writers Tom Tykwer, Achim von Borries and Henk Handloegten premiered a dazzling 15-minutes of their ambitious high-end series Babylon Berlin at the MIPDrama Screenings on Sunday where it won the grand jury prize.

X Filme marks 10-year milestone
COLOGNE, Germany -- "In each European country, there is one -- and only one -- production company that can consistently produce films that work internationally. In Spain, it's Pedro Almodovar's El Deseo. In Germany, it's X Filme." That statement, made by the head of a leading U.S. indie distributor at this year's Cannes film festival, sums up why Berlin-based X Filme Creative Pool -- which turned 10 years old this week -- remains a primary port of call for international acquisitions execs. From such break-out hits as Run, Lola, Run and Good bye, Lenin! to art house notables including Love in Thoughts, Heaven and Life Is All You Get, X Filme has broken free of the confines of the German market to find a worldwide audience for its eclectic, director-driven films.
