The Dutch film Nothing to Lose by Pieter Kuijpers, number three at the local box office last weekend, is the key title on UK sales company High Point Media Group’s EFM line-up.

The thriller about a convicted killer on the run from a psychiatric prison who takes a 13 year-old girl as a hostage is screening for the first time at a market today.

The second film premiering at the market is the award-winning Irish film Kings by Tom Collins. The tale of six men reunited for a friend’s funeral has just opened in the US through BFS Entertainment. Released in Ireland last September, the film is still playing strong, according to Elisar Cabrera, High Point’s director of sales, who has a desk at the British in Berlin stand.

The company has three titles in pre-production: The Sea Change by Brek Taylor and Elizabeth Mitchell, the thriller Ashes by Alan Coulson and Fin Edquest’s The Kingdom.
