World pandemic basically caused a global shutdown in the film and television production for some time followed by gradual reopening which was often coming with number of restrictions and safety protocols that forced executives to rethink the way how to produce the content safely. Some have even managed to use the potential of the newly formed situation to their advantage. And so did the Flemish public broadcaster VRT asking creators to come up with corona-proof series that could be shot following the strict protocol set by the Flemish government.
Series Lockdown features twelve independent short stories, directed by top directors and with a strong cast. Each story takes place in the same setting with two characters, each on one side of the glass in the visiting area of a prison that separates them – but also their world. Each short film is made by a different director and crew and with different actors. This makes Lockdown a surprising mix of different genres such as drama, comedy, and thriller.
