Going Nuts: Tales from the Squirrel World, which Albatross World Sales is bringing to MIPTV, is a look into the lives of the little furry creatures that takes viewers on a pint-sized, albeit wild ride.

The documentary focuses on various squirrel species’ survival in extreme environments. “Who doesn’t love squirrels?” asks Albatross World Sales’ managing director, Anne Olzmann. “The cuteness factor is definitely convincing.”

Wineman: The Gálvez Guide to Intelligent Wines is a travel doc that follows vino-savvy host Joaquín Gálvez as he visits the vineyards and regions famous for producing the world’s best wines and learns the secrets of its creation from locals along the way. Also from Albatross comes We Are Half the World, a look into the international struggle for women’s right to vote through the eyes of 20th-century suffragettes like Emmeline Pankhurst and Marguerite Durand.

“We’re thrilled to meet existing buyers as well as connect to new potential clients out of the documentary sphere,” Olzmann says.
