Inter Medya has announced new international sales for its hit Turkish drama Valley of Hearts, reinforcing the show's growing global footprint. The emotionally resonant family saga, produced by TIMS&B Productions, has now been licensed to broadcasters in Georgia and Hungary, expanding its presence in Central and Eastern Europe.
The series, which premiered to strong ratings in Italy—where its debut episode ranked among the most-watched prime time programmes—has now been sold in over 30 countries. Its latest European deals mark a major step in the show's international rollout, reflecting both its popularity and strong commercial performance. Earlier this year, Valley of Hearts was licensed to Mediaset Italy, continuing its momentum after a well-received debut at Mipcom.
Boasting a high-profile cast including Ece Uslu, Aras Aydın, Hafsanur Sancaktutan, Leyla Tanlar, Burak Sergen and İlker Aksum, Valley of Hearts has emerged as one of Turkey's most-watched dramas this season. Its success at home has translated into widespread interest from international buyers and audiences alike, fueling multiple sales across various global regions.
Inter Medya has also revealed a major new Latin American deal during the second day of LA Screenings, securing a license with Mega in Chile. Previously, the series was acquired by TVN in Panama, further extending its reach across Latin America. Known as Corazón Negro in the region, the show is directed by the creators behind Turkish hits Bitter Lands (Tierra Amarga) and Deception (Traición), and continues to resonate with fans of Turkish drama worldwide.

'Impressions of Paradise' Explores the Image of Twentieth-Century Lebanon Through Travel and Film Posters
At the Nuhad Es-Said Pavilion for Culture, vintage travel and film posters from the Philippe Jabre Art Collection unveil the construction of Lebanon's national image in popular culture and its enduring visual legacy. The Nuhad Es-Said Pavilion for Culture invites visitors on a captivating journey with its new exhibition, 'Impressions of Paradise: Travel, Tourism, and the Visual Performance of Modern Lebanon.' Drawing from a rare selection of travel and film posters from the Philippe Jabre Art Collection, the exhibition, which runs from 20 June to 30 October 2025, explores depictions of Lebanon in the international travel and culture industry from the 1920s to the 1970s. Curated by Nour Osseiran, with catalogue and research by art historian Marie Tomb, 'Impressions of Paradise' showcases iconic posters depicting Lebanon's iconic Cedar forests, Roman ruins, golden beaches, and charming pine-clad villages, destined to seduce tourists, as well as sleek designs promoting air travel that connected Lebanon to distant destinations. 'Posters are designed and worded to persuade and seduce in ephemeral public displays rather than collections and museums,' says Philippe Jabre, collector and founder of the archive. 'But somehow, they made their way here, proving that, far from static artifacts, they are living documents that carry memories, emotions, and a sense of identity that resonates across generations.' The exhibition extends to the worlds of film and performance with posters from European spy thrillers referencing Lebanon, from nostalgic regional films, and from prints announcing concerts at the renowned Baalbeck Festival, which famously transformed the ancient site into a grand stage for cultural performance. While seemingly celebratory, these posters are, in fact, highly selective depictions. They reveal how design subtly functioned as soft propaganda, circulating both abroad and domestically to shape Lebanon's global image and its self-perception. 'Impressions of Paradise retraces how Lebanon presented itself to the world as its status rose as a tourist and cultural destination in the twentieth century,' Jabre adds. 'This exhibition is, in essence, a reflection of my commitment to preserving, understanding, and weaving together the diverse threads that have shaped Lebanon's visual and cultural history over the past four centuries, from Orientalist paintings to photographs to Modern art.' 'Impressions of Paradise' also features contemporary Lebanese artists Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige, Lamia Joreige, Said Baalbaki, and Caline Aoun. These artists interrogate commercial posters' legacy, refracting their polished image through themes of intimacy, distortion, and rupture, offering a multifaceted perspective on the nation's performative identity. The exhibition ultimately traverses both the shimmering surfaces of a bygone dream and the layered sediments it left behind, prompting reflection on how nations visually perform themselves—and how those performances fracture, mutate, yet persist across generations. 'Anchored in Lebanon but with a global reach, the Nuhad Es-Said Pavilion for Culture, opened in the fall of 2024, offers a vibrant home to nurture artistic and cultural dialogue, celebrate creative expressions, and acknowledge and reflect on Memory,' states the Committee of the Pavilion. 'It carries on the Museum's mission to preserve Lebanon's heritage and infusing it with Modern and contemporary creative expressions that resonate with its soul.' 'Following this commitment, the Pavilion's second exhibition, Impressions of Paradise, explores the image of Lebanon through the lens of important historical examples of print advertisements and archival documents, and juxtaposes them with recent artworks that critique so-called 'Golden Age' utopian conceptions of Lebanon.'

Telemundo sets premiere date for Turkish drama ‘Bahar: Esencia de Mujer'
The series tells a tale of resilience, reinvention and rediscovery. Telemundo has announced that the hit Turkish drama Bahar: Esencia de Mujer will premiere on Monday, July 14 at 10pm/9c. The series stars Demet Evgar (Fuego del Destino) as Bahar, alongside Bugra Gülsoy (Todo Por Mi Hija) as Evren and Mehmet Yilmaz AK (Secretos de Sangre) as Timur, forming a powerhouse cast for a story that explores resilience, personal reinvention and self-discovery. At the heart of the drama is Bahar, a housewife who has spent two decades prioritising her family. When she is diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, she makes the life-altering decision to return to the hospital and resume the medical residency she once abandoned. Her decision, however, complicates her life—she must now work under her husband, the hospital's chief surgeon, and alongside her son, who is also starting his medical career as a first-year resident. While her family disapproves of her choice, Bahar begins to find purpose and fulfillment in reclaiming her identity. But her return to the hospital also uncovers painful secrets about her husband's double life, forcing her to confront long-buried truths. The series also features performances by Ecem Ozkaya, Hatice Aslan, Fisum Demirel, Demirhan Demircioğlu, Nil Sude Albayrak, Elit Adaç Çam, Alisa Sezen Seve, and Sena Kalip.
