Once again KI.KA and TrustNordisk join forces in a fruitful collaboration. KI.KA, the children´s channel of German ARD and ZDF, has bought the rights to FATHER OF FOUR - IN JAPANESE MODE thus continuing a long and strong collaboration with TrustNordisk on children´s titles. KI.KA has previously worked together with TrustNordisk on the first feature in the series; FATHER OF FOUR and the third title; FATHER OF FOUR - BACK HOME.
Directed by Danish Claus Bjerre FATHER OF FOUR - IN JAPANESE MODE is a domestic success, reaching over 430.000 admissions. The whole FATHER OF FOUR-series, currently consisting of four titles, has accumulated a record-breaking admission-rate of over 1.6 million national cinemagoers.
FATHER OF FOUR - IN JAPANESE MODE has been internationally distributed to territories such as France, Belgium and Switzerland amongst others and is produced by ASA Film Production in collaboration with Scanbox, TV 2/Denmark and with support from The Danish Film Institute.
“This new feature film of FATHER OF FOUR, of which KI.KA is successfully broadcasting two films so far, already became a brand on KI.KA - thanks to TrustNordisk”, says Sebastian Debertin, Head of Fiction, Acquisition & Co-Production at KI.KA. “The story about the growing friendship between two boys from different cultures brings up the theme of integration without denying the difficulties and problems which can occur, but shows at the same time very simple, but convincing ways to be open minded! We are looking forward to another successful FATHER OF FOUR-broadcast!”
