Stephen Fry-Narrated Doc Set For Prime Video
Mind Games – The Experiment, a Stephen Fry-narrated doc, is dropping today on Prime Video. The program is billed as a “a groun breaking study that follows sedentary and physically inactive gamers” to see if exercise makes their gameplaying abilities better by improving cognitive functions. It will follow four professional games, who specialize in chess, mahjong, memory and esports, respectively, and take the results from 70+ gamers elsewhere around the world to draw conclusions. The doc is from Beyond Productions, which is now part of Banijay. The study and doc were initially commissioned by international sportsware brand Asics, though the film is editorially independent and unbranded.

A cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme that pulled in an estimated 4 billion worldwide is getting the documentary treatment.
Sky Germany, the U.K.’s Channel 4 and super-indie Fremantle are backing a three-part doc series about the con, which was spearheaded by the mysterious Dr. Ruja Ignatova, who is still on the run from law enforcement officials.
“Crypto Queen” (working title) promises to shed exclusive new light on one of the biggest digital scams of the last decade. Produced by Tondowski Films and Derren Lawford’s Dare Pictures, the series explores the story of how self-styled lawyer and Bulgarian businesswoman Dr. Ruja Ignatova, dubbed ‘The Queen of Crypto,’ scammed investors out of billions of dollars in less than three years through her cryptocurrency brainchild, OneCoin.
At her peak, in 2016, Ignatova presented OneCoin on stage in Wembley stadium and hosted lavish parties in Dubai and New York, all at the expense of her investors.

The Circle Women Doc Accelerator, a training program for women documentary filmmakers conceived with a focus on Southern and Eastern Europe, has selected the four projects that will take part in its showcase as part of the Cannes Docs program of the Cannes Film Market, Variety can reveal.
Hailing from the program’s backyard in the Balkans to as far afield as Brazil and Taiwan, the selection reflects the growing ambition of a program now in its fourth year.
“Although Circle started off as a regional initiative for Southeast European filmmakers, it quickly expanded to the whole world,” said the program’s director Biljana Tutorov and project manager Antigoni Papantoni. “This year’s selection is proof of the international scale that Circle has achieved.”
“Cent’Anni” is directed by Slovenian filmmaker Maja Doroteja Prelog and produced by Rok Biček, Alessandro Leone, and Massimo Casula. A personal confession about the impact of illness on a relationship,...
