MIPCOM Spotlight: Albatross World Sales

Mixing animation and wildlife images, the Albatross World Sales title Beasts and Witches debunks long-held beliefs about animals, exploring the fairytales about their magical abilities that have frightened people for centuries.

Anne Olzmann, managing director at Albatross, says, “The superb artwork by John Howe, who is one of the most acknowledged fantasy artists in the world and famous for his works on The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, will capture young and old audiences alike.”

Fossil findings from Europe and Asia are used to challenge the “Out of Africa” theory of human evolution that has been accepted for the last hundred years in Out of Europe: A New Story of Human Evolution? Meanwhile, Cruising the Baltic Sea: A Summer on the Water follows the paths of ancient Vikings.

Olzmann adds, “With the help of our international partnerships, we look forward to introducing our carefully handpicked content to worldwide audiences.”
