The most remarkable aspect of TV movies is that they have embraced almost the full gambit of the- mes, though they have perhaps found their greatest area of growth in biopics and news or fact- based stories. This is the legacy the Catalan film and television industry took up very few years ago, and it has since gone on to create a burgeoning portfolio of TV movie titles. Over 50 titles have been broadcast in dedicated slots on Televisió de Catalunya, some involving new approaches to co-production. This catalogue brings together the most recent crop, conceived with a view to accessing all possible sales channels: theatrical release, theme channels, satellite, etc.
