We’re thrilled to share that the series The Deal captured through the lens of director of photography Adrien Bertolle has been selected to compete at the 69th BFI London Film Festival, running from October 8 to 19.
Directed by Jean-Stéphane Bron and produced by Bande à Part Films, Les Films Pelléas, RTS (Radio Télévision Suisse), Gaumont Television France, Bidibul Productions, and Versus Production, the series transports us to Geneva in 2015. At the heart of the story is Swiss diplomat Alexandra Weiss, who finds herself at the center of tense US–Iran negotiations, further complicated by the unexpected reappearance of her former lover, Iranian engineer Payam Sanjabi. Starring Veerle Baetens, Juliet Stevenson, and Arash Marandi, The Deal promises a gripping exploration of power, politics, and personal entanglements on the world stage.
