CANNES: Off the Fence has a range of history, science, travel, lifestyle, and nature and wildlife titles, including the documentary Close to Death, which features animals stopping their hearts and brains in the risky survival mechanism known as deep sleep.

There is also Sacred Sites of the World, offering a unique glimpse into some of the most hallowed shrines, temples and monuments. The six-parter was filmed in 4K and “unlocks new scientific breakthroughs, looking at compelling archaeological and historical research,” says Mette Kanne-Behrendsen, Off the Fence’s VP of acquisitions.

Alaska Air Crash Investigations is another MIPTV highlight. The six-part series follows the NTSB Crash Investigation team as it attempts to discover why so many planes crash each year in one of the most dangerous places to fly.

“We are continuing to expand in all areas and are looking forward to another successful year ahead,” says Kanne-Behrendsen.
