CANNES: History comes to life in NHK Enterprises’s A Century on Film, which the company is offering to buyers at MIPTV.

“This series cuts deep into each piece of history by presenting real stories of people who helped shape the times they lived in through moving images, which have shaped humankind’s shared visual experiences and wisdom,” says Noriko Aratani, executive producer and head of program sales and development for the international business center at NHK Enterprises.

The company is also offering the 4K series Ring of Civilizations: Rediscovering Ancient Asia, which explores ancient ruins. In the science category, the documentary Origins of Land: Nishinoshima illustrates how continents are formed, as NHK and scientists filmed “this natural spectacle from the air, land and sea in 4K, while collecting important scientific data,” Aratani says. “By making full use of 4K and 8K high-definition video, as well as the latest technology, NHK provides content that resonates with viewers worldwide.”
