Oscar winning writer and director Jane Campion takes the MIPCOM stage for a unique interview with co-creator and co-writer Gerard Lee to share insights on the powerful and haunting drama starring Elisabeth Moss, Holly Hunter, Peter Mullan and David Wenham.

"Top of the Lake" is a See-Saw Films production in association with Screen Australia, Screen NSW and Fulcrum Media Finance for BBC, UKTV, The Sundance Channel and BBC Worldwide.

Set against one of the most amazing and untouched landscapes left on the planet, "Top of the Lake" is a powerful and haunting story about our search for happiness where the dream of paradise attracts its dark twin, the fall.

"Top of the Lake" begins with a mystery -- Tui, a 12 year old girl, walks chest deep into the freezing waters of a South Island lake in New Zealand. She is five months pregnant and won't say who the father is. Then she disappears. Robin Griffin is a gutsy but inexperienced detective called in to investigate. But as Robin becomes more and more obsessed with the search for Tui, she slowly begins to realise that finding Tui is tantamount to finding herself -- a self she has kept well hidden.

Jane Campion, Oscar Winning Writer & Director
