Netherlands-based sales agent Dfw International has added Nienke Römer’s comedy “Candy & Bonita” and war drama “Betrayal” by Thomas Nauw and Dennis Bots to its lineup ahead of this week’s American Film Market.
AFM marks the first major event for the sales agent since Studiocanal acquired a majority stake in its Benelux distribution parent Dutch FilmWorks in June.
“Candy & Bonita,” produced by 2CFilm in partnership with Rtl’s VOD service Videoland, centers on friends Tilly (Sanne Langelaar) and Marieke (Fockeline Ouwerkerk) who try to regain control of their lives by making female-friendly porn. The endeavor helps the pair find their place in the world again, but also drags everyone in their orbit into an unforgettable adventure. The film also stars Dutch porn actor and model Bobbi Eden.
The pic is currently in post-production and set for a domestic release in January 2023.

In her entertaining Mipcom fresh content presentation on Tuesday, Virginia Mouseler, CEO and co-founder of the Geneva-based TV think tank The Wit, put the focus on hit new shows powered by a cast of angry women.
“‘The Squid Game’ inspired our theme for today, which is fiction against domination,” she said. “In our selection, it will be mostly women against the domination of men. The domination of the system.”
Mouseler’s selection of fresh TV began with the BBC’s crime thriller “Vigil,” which revolves around a lesbian cop sent to investigate a murder on a submarine. “The deeper you go, the darker it gets,” runs the tag line.
“What I thought was interesting was the evolution of the female cop character,” she said. “She’s a lesbian and she’s sent to a men’s world and has to deal with her own vulnerability.”

With the voices of Paulien Cornelisse, Nasrdin Dchar, Fockeline Ouwerkerk, and Steye van Dam.
