Stateless from NBCU, having its world premiere Feb. 26 as part of Berlinale Series, was co-created by Cate Blanchett and centers on four strangers who find themselves caught up in one of Australia’s many immigration centers
"[Launching in Berlin] is perfect because it speaks to how the displacement crisis is affecting Europe, and the festival was really open to us," says Elise McCredie , pictured with Tony Ayres and Cate Blanchett.
The creative team behind the Berlinale Series entry 'Stateless,' a six-episode look at Australia’s troubled immigration system, discuss the decision to tackle such a politically sensitive topic and why they have no desire to"preach to the converted."won the Golden Bear at the Berlinale, the hot-button subject of immigration is now set to take center stage in the fest’s growing TV arm, and with the headline-grabbing backing of a double Oscar winner.
You started developing this show five years ago. Given all the talk we’ve had since then about borders and walls, does now seem a particularly poignant moment forWhat kept us going over the years is that something that you would hope will become less and less relevant, as the months pass, becomes more relevant. So yes, I think it’s a fantastic time — unfortunately — to be coming out.
Is the choice to launch in Berlin merely circumstantial, or do you also think it’s a subject that resonates here?For us, it’s perfect because it speaks to how the displacement crisis is affecting Europe, and the festival was really open to us. I do think that the region is very alive to the themes in the series. And our lead character spends the whole series wanting to go to Germany!This story first appeared in The Hollywood Reporter's Feb. 21 daily issue at the Berlin Film Festival.
