Olivier Dahan’s ‘Nana’ to Launch Marvelous Productions–Kapa Studios Pact

French production company Marvelous Productions and Greek production outfit Kapa Studios are forming a cross-border partnership, with Olivier Dahan’s period drama “Nana” set to launch the collaboration, Variety reported. The agreement will begin with a feature film before expanding into television series and additional projects.

The companies are scheduled to announce the collaboration Thursday at the Thessaloniki International Film Festival, according to the report. The partnership brings together production businesses from France and Greece around a shared plan to develop and produce projects, rather than limiting their cooperation to a single title.

“Nana” provides the first named project attached to that plan. Variety’s headline identifies it as a period drama from Dahan, but the supplied report excerpt does not detail the film’s story, cast or production schedule. It also does not specify how responsibilities for the feature will be divided between Marvelous Productions and Kapa Studios.

The proposed move into television gives the agreement a broader scope than its initial feature-film launch. While the companies intend to work on series and other projects, the available material does not identify those productions or say when they might enter development. The distinction leaves “Nana” as the clearest indication so far of the partnership’s creative direction.

The arrangement is notable for linking companies in two national production markets under a continuing collaboration. Its stated focus covers both development and production, placing the relationship across more than one stage of bringing a project to the screen. The report excerpt, however, does not describe the financing arrangements, ownership terms or approval process that will underpin that work.

For the initial film, the central outstanding questions concern how the announced collaboration will translate into production. No budget, shooting locations, distribution arrangements or release date are provided in the supplied material. The companies’ French and Greek identities alone do not establish where “Nana” or their subsequent projects will be filmed or released.

The planned festival announcement gives the companies an occasion to present the partnership and its opening project together. It remains unclear from the excerpt whether that announcement will include further creative details about “Nana” or a fuller slate. No named television projects accompany the description of the companies’ longer-term ambitions.

The next scheduled step is the Thursday announcement in Thessaloniki, as outlined by Variety. Beyond that, the partnership’s progress will depend on the development and production of its first feature and the additional projects the companies choose to pursue. For now, the reported agreement establishes a film-led starting point for a collaboration intended to extend into television.
