The WIT’s CEO Virginia Mouseler treated us to another Fresh TV session, this time for kids live action.

Travel (fantastical or not), entertainment and struggle appeared to be big themes. A few include Find Me in Paris (distributed by ZDF Enterprises and Federation Kids & Family, and MIPTV’s Kids World Premiere TV Screening tomorrow), about the life of a Parisian teen ballet dancer. In Sara & Marti (Stand by Me), two motherless sisters move from London to Italy. Heidi (Mondo TV) adapts the classic novel, where Heidi moves from the countryside to the big city.

Meanwhile, a sister and her half-brother time-travel to the Middle Ages in Mehdi & Val (Slalom Productions). The Bureau of Magical Things (ZDF) follows the adventures of a teenage girl who is part human, elf and fairy. In Colony (Supersonic), a group of kids must learn to survive on a strange island.

Entertainment wise, look out for De Eindmusical (AvroTros), about a group of students prepping for their end-of-year musical. Baseboys (DR Sales) sees four friends working to become the country’s newest boy band, and NOOBees (VIMN) is about video games, esports and love.
