October 4, 2012 World Screen Top Stories

CANNES: The newly established distribution company Sky Vision, formed by BSkyB’s acquisition of Parthenon Media Group earlier this year, makes its debut at the market.

“We have been extremely fortunate to launch Sky Vision at MIPCOM with two amazing David Attenborough titles, Kingdom of Plants and Galapagos,” says Leona Connell, the head of global sales and acquisitions at Sky Vision. The 4×1-hour Kingdom of Plants, produced by Atlantic Productions, features a new dimension in the lives of plants. Also a 4×1-hour production, Galapagos, produced by Colossus Productions, tells the story of how these islands were formed. Sky Vision is also making its debut with Forensic Firsts, produced by StoryHouse Productions and spotlighting the hidden world of forensic science.  

“The programs [being showcased] at this market are testament to our quality-orientated approach,” says Connell. “With more titles launching than ever before at this market, we are also looking forward to MIPTV 2013 with even more new shows across a wider variety of genres.”
