Cara Delevingne Takes Fremantle’s ‘Planet Sex’ to Mipcom in Cannes – Global Bulletin - Variety

Model and actor Cara Delevingne is heading to Cannes for next week’s Mipcom market, where she’ll be promoting her BBC and Hulu documentary series “Planet Sex.”

Produced by her production banner Milkshake Productions and Fremantle’s Naked Productions, “Planet Sex” sees Delevingne approach questions surrounding human sexuality by visiting communities who view and experience gender and sexuality in hugely contrasting ways. She also shares her own personal experiences in the show.

Delevingne, who serves as an executive producer on the project, will take part in a special showcase of “Planet Sex” in the Grand Palais’ Auditorium on Oct. 18, alongside Simon Andreae, CEO Fremantle U.K. and founder of “Planet Sex “producer Naked Television.

The session will feature first-look footage from the show, as well as a special “in conversation” session with Delevingne and Andreae.

“Planet Sex” is jointly commissioned by Hulu and the BBC, with global rights handled by Fremantle. Hulu is set to launch the series later this year, and it will air on BBC Three in the fall.

The 38th edition of Mipcom will take place in Cannes from Oct. 17-20, and is set to convene more than 10,000 senior international television producers, buyers, commissioners and creatives from over 100 countries.

PRODUCTION

Sovereign and Scala Productions, in association with Prestige Films, has begun production on “Small Gods,” a feature film about the landless Batwa people of Africaʼs Great Lakes Region, directed by Asher Rosen and Ezra Mugisha.

“Small Gods” tells the story of Florenz, a struggling single mother, and Bizimana, a charismatic street performer. Fighting to rise above the cycle of poverty, Flo and Biza sing for international tourists. But when a crisis strikes, it threatens their growing hopes for a better future.

“Small Gods” is inspired by the lives of its two protagonists and lead actors, Florenz Mariserena and Bizimana Hussain. The Batwa have been evicted from their ancestral forests in the name of conservation. In order to eke out a living, many perform their cultureʼs songs, stories, and dances for passing tourists — the same tourists whose very presence has led to their evictions.

The cast of “Small Gods” includes Bizimana Hussain, Florenz Mariserena and Tuyi Mariserena.
