Content overview: “Serielizados Fest: Hagai Levi’s ‘Etty’ and ‘Killing a Bear’ Win Top Series Prizes, ‘El Obs”. Israeli creator Hagai Levi, known for 'The Affair' and 'Scenes From a Marriage,' won Best International Series at the Serielizados Fest in Barcelona for 'Etty,' a drama about Etty Hillesum, a young Jewish woman who chronicled life in Nazi-occupied Amsterdam. The prize for Best National Series went to 'Killing a Bear' from Spanish duo Jorge and Alberto Sánchez-Cabezudo, creators of 'La Zona.' The awards were announced Saturday night at the festival, which champions bold, auteur-driven television. 'Etty' resonated with jurors for its intimate, poetic portrait of resilience, while 'Killing a Bear' impressed with its raw, unsettling exploration of family trauma in rural Spain.
Both series highlight Serielizados' commitment to challenging, character-driven storytelling that pushes beyond mainstream formats. Elsewhere, the Mind the Gap pitch prize was awarded to 'El Observatorio,' a Spanish project that explores the aftermath of a mass shooting through the eyes of a journalist.
