Series Mania has unveiled its selection of titles which will be competing this year. A Life’s Worth, written by Mona Masri and Oliver Dixon, has been selected for International Panorama.

A Life’s Worth, which is inspired by Magnus Ernström’s autobiographical novel, explores the challenges facing the first Swedish UN battalion in Bosnia, as four young soldiers go on their first mission in 1993. The show stars Edvin Ryding, Johan Rheborg and is directed by Ahmed Abdullahi.

Series Mania takes place in Lille, France, from March 21 to 28.

Less than a week after its release, the Russo brothers’ adaptation of Simon Stålenhag’s narrative art book, has become the No. 1 film on Netflix worldwide, with more than 25.2 million views.

The Electric State follows a young woman (played by Millie Bobby Brown) who embarks on a perilous journey across the robot-ravaged US, accompanied by a mysterious toy robot and a roguish smuggler (Chris Pratt). Together, they’ll unravel a mechanical conspiracy at the center of the American heartland.

Set in a retro-futuristic past, this epic adventure from filmmakers Anthony and Joe Russo (Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame), written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, follows Michelle (Millie Bobby Brown), an orphaned teenager journeying across the American West in search of her younger brother. Accompanying her is a mysterious robot and an eccentric drifter named Keats, played by Chris Pratt.

The film also features Ke Huy Quan, Jason Alexander, Woody Norman, Giancarlo Esposito and Stanley Tucci. Woody Harrelson, Anthony Mackie, Brian Cox, Jenny Slate, Hank Azaria, Colman Domingo and Alan Tudyk join the cast in voice roles.
