MIPCOM Spotlight: Deutsche Welle/DW Transtel

DW Transtel, the distribution arm of Deutsche Welle, has documentaries to present to buyers in Cannes.

The top highlight for this year is BauhausWORLD, which covers the history and cultural impact of one of the most iconic design movements. “Our three-part series not only portrays the Bauhaus as a design school, but also shows what its teachings and effects can contribute to mastering the challenges our societies face in the 21st century,” says Petra Schneider, DW’s director of distribution.

Motoring Legends, meanwhile, is a showcase of classic cars, ranging from the brands Mercedes to Jeep.

There is also The Mysteries of the Brain, which explores new discoveries in the field of brain research.

“What these documentaries have in common is the detail in which they showcase and explain these widely different subjects,” says Schneider.
