This marks the first African series selected in CANNESERIES\u2019 history. \u201cSpinners\u201d shows us the rather unworthy daily life of gangs in the Cape Town projects. In this true Malthusian urban jungle, where you better not have any feelings, the main character will find redemption in Spinning, a new automobile sport that entails making artistic figures with damaged cars.<\/p>\n
\u201cSpinners\u201d has been nominated for Best Series, a prestigious category that recognises the most outstanding television productions from around the world. This achievement is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the show\u2019s cast and crew, who have worked tirelessly to bring this story to life.<\/p>\n
Albin Lewi, Artistic Director for CANNESERIES says, \u201cWe have a dedicated international jury that judge the first two episodes of the 10 series in order to decide the awards for: Best Series, Best Screenplay, Best Performance, Special Performance and Best Music.\u201d<\/p>\n
With regards to the growth of the African film and television industry Lewi says, \u201cWe are witnessing a growth of African productions, and are being approached by more and more producers, creators and distributors dedicated to the African content. The judging criteria is purely based on quality and not territory so for \u201cSpinners\u201d to be the first African series to be nominated is testament to the quality of the production.\u201d He adds, \u201cwe hope to see more African series nominated in future editions.\u201d<\/p>\n
The show\u2019s nomination also highlights the increasing prominence of African-produced content on the global stage. Shows like \u201cQueen Sono\u201d, \u201cBlood & Water\u201d, and now \u201cSpinners\u201d have gained critical acclaim and helped to raise the profile of African storytelling in the international media landscape.<\/p>\n
Empreinte Digitale, the one of the production companies behind \u201cSpinners, has a proven track record of producing high-quality content for both local and international audiences. The series is co-produced by Ramadan Suleman, founder of the Johannesburg-based, Natives at Large which produced \u201cZulu Love Letter\u201d which played Venice in Toronto in 2004. With its compelling storyline and talented cast, \u201cSpinners\u201d promises to be a hit with viewers around the world.<\/p>\n
WHAT IS NEXT<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThe show\u2019s success at the CANNESERIES is a promising sign for the future of African-produced content, as it demonstrates the potential for growth and success in the entertainment industry. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of supporting and investing in local talent and creativity,\u201d says Martin Hiller, Event Director: MIP Africa.<\/p>\n With MIP Africa returning to Cape Town, from 4 to 6 September 2023 with a mission to discover the next wave of African storytellers, \u201cSpinners is a testament to the exceptional talent and ability to bring African stories on the global stage.<\/p>\n As viewers eagerly anticipate the show\u2019s release this year on Showmax, \u201cSpinners\u201d has already made a significant impact on the entertainment industry and will continue to do so in the future.<\/p>\n Video:<\/strong> Canal+ and Showmax\u2019s \u201cSpinners\u201d nominated for best series at CANNESERIES<\/p>\n Boilerplate and Editor\u2019s Notes<\/a><\/strong>.
