MIPTV Spotlight: Terra Mater Factual Studios

Terra Mater Factual Studios highlight Whale Wisdom, guided by director Rick Rosenthal, dives down into the ocean depths to learn about the intelligence of whales.

Shifting the focus upward, The Sun: Inferno in the Sky combines the latest solar research, insights from international scientists and solar storm footage to create a close-up portrait of the sun for viewers.

Borneo: Earth’s Ancient Isle explores the biodiversity of the Malay Archipelago’s tropical rainforests and sprawling cave systems, and features giant apes, pygmy elephants, air-breathing fish and thousands of different species of plants.

“Borneo: Earth’s Ancient Isle visits one of the most biodiverse places on Earth,” says Sabine Holzer, Terra Mater’s head of specialist factual. “From the coast to the island’s highest point—Mount Kinabalu, rising over 4,000 meters—Borneo, Earth’s ancient isle, is a place quite unlike any other.”
