A Special Mention has been dedicated to the Norwegian Series Arkitekten (The Architect).
The original jury statement:
“The Good Mothers captured us with its multi-layered characters that are treated with care and allow to evolve before our very eyes. We were moved, anxious and, at times, breathless.
The series creators have been meticulous in recreating an authentic and detailed world, presented by a stellar cast, with performances that made our hearts skip a beat.
The beautiful cinematography, production design and locations contribute to the ultra-realistic feel of the show, which is only right, considering it is based on true events and on real life characters – the courageous women who stood up to decades of oppression and misogyny and helped bring down the Calabrian mafia.”
The Berlinale Series Award is the first award at an A-festival to be established specifically for a series. With the introduction of Berlinale Series in 2015, the Berlinale was the first A-list festival worldwide to do justice to changing viewing habits and the importance of serial storytelling.
Seven series were nominated for the Berlinale Series Award, which was presented on Wednesday, February 22, at Zoo Palast.
