Pamplona. Spain — Chile’s “The Cliff,” Argentina’s “In Search of Spring” and Spain’s “The Yellow Bird” feature in a 10-title lineup of drama series projects at the 3rd Pitch CoPro Series, the industry centerpiece of Conecta Fiction, the world’s foremost Europe-Latin American TV co-production and networking forum.
“Strong on genre and historical dramas,” observed Conecta Fiction director Geraldine Gonard of this year’s CoPro Series, the lineup shows its project creators plumbing Spanish and Latin America history via bio series (“Dolores”) and crime (“Lost Toys”) and action (”Spring”) thrillers, suspense drama (“The Saddest Gaol”), and an adventure format (“The Yellow Bird”).
Two series projects are sci-fi, another horror (Dutch series “Greed”) as fantasy genre thrillers grounded or not in social realities, demonstrate a ready appeal both in linear TV and most especially for streaming platforms.
Nearly a third of the projects come from Chile, a sign of...

Chicago instrumental rockers Pelican unveiled a bruising new track, “Midnight and Mescaline,” from their upcoming album Nighttime Stories, out June 7th via Southern Lord Recordings.

Just as the song seems to hit a peak it cuts out suddenly allowing a guttural bass line to take hold and lead the track through an extended breakdown.
