MIPDoc, along with MIPFormats, drew some 1,800 participants the weekend before MIPTV, and in the doc sector, high-end projects reigned supreme.<\/em><\/p>\n

The 4K series\u00a0Big Pacific<\/em>, distributed by ZDF Enterprises (ZDFE), was the most-watched program in the MIPDoc Screenings. The blue-chip natural-history co-production\u00a0<\/strong>had a special premiere at the market as well. The screening was preceded by\u00a0a MIPDoc superpanel<\/a><\/strong>, moderated by\u00a0World Screen<\/em>\u2019s Anna Carugati, which featured executives from ZDFE, NHNZ, PBS, CCTV9, ARTE France and ZDF weighing in on co-pros.<\/p>\n

TV presenter and philosopher Jason Silva, of\u00a0Brain Games\u00a0<\/em>fame, was in Cannes to present his new series\u00a0Origins: The Journey of Humankind<\/em>. FOX Networks Group Content Distribution\u00a0launched the program to the global market at a MIPDoc lunch<\/a><\/strong>, which featured a conversation with Silva and National Geographic\u2019s Tim Pastore, moderated by Carugati.<\/p>\n

In another MIPDoc session, Nat Geo\u2019s Hamish Mykura, Foxtel\u2019s Hannah Barnes, Canal+\u2019s Isabelle Antraygue and ORF\u2019s Andrew Solomon\u00a0discussed acquisition and commissioning trends<\/a><\/strong>. The lively conversation, also moderated by Carugati, was followed by the presentation of the second-annual World Screen Factual Trendsetter Awards. The buyers and commissioners on the panel said they were looking for everything from premium natural history to high-end lifestyle series to docs that have immersive experiences such as VR.<\/p>\n

The range of deals scored throughout the week in Cannes echoed this diversity. PBS International landed\u00a0sales for its 18-hour documentary film series\u00a0The Vietnam War<\/em><\/a><\/strong>, which boasts the auspices of Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, and for\u00a0the topical doc\u00a0The Age of Consequences<\/em><\/a><\/strong>, which deals with the military and political implications of climate change. TCB Media Rights\u00a0licensed a pair of royal-themed shows<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0to SBS in Australia, while Beyond Distribution\u00a0lined up two new broadcasters for the science-infused\u00a0Mythbusters: The Search<\/em><\/a><\/strong>. GRB Entertainment secured sales on\u00a0a number of docuseries<\/a><\/strong>, including\u00a0Twisted Tales of My 9 to 5<\/em>, in Poland and Africa. True crime continued to prove popular at the market as well. The Sky free-to-air channel Pick ordered a\u00a0second season of\u00a0Britain\u2019s Most Evil Killers<\/em>\u00a0and its international counterpart<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0World\u2019s Most Evil Killers<\/em>\u2014both are Woodcut Media titles sold by Keshet International.<\/p>\n

Further emphasizing the trend toward high-end, blue-chip fare, ORF-Enterprise\u00a0signed a range of agreements for titles from its Universum strand<\/a><\/strong>, including\u00a0Sky River of the Himalayas<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0The Canary Islands<\/em>. Terra Mater Factual Studios was\u00a0at the market with a slew of high-quality nature programming<\/a><\/strong>, along with a brand-new 4K science highlight presented by Sir David Attenborough.<\/p>\n

Speaking of blue-chip productions, ITV Studios Global Entertainment\u00a0inked an exclusive first-look deal<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>with Maramedia covering all of the Glasgow-based producer\u2019s natural-history programming. And Blue Ant Media\u00a0announced a two-year production and distribution output agreement<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>with Blink Films that will see seven new original series for Love Nature, a joint venture between Blue Ant and Smithsonian Networks.<\/p>\n

As the bar continues to be raised for the level of quality expected in documentary programming, co-productions are becoming key. The Japanese public broadcaster\u00a0NHK announced that it is teaming up with the Welsh-language pubcaster S4C<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0on a new series,\u00a0The Body<\/em>, which combines cutting-edge science and the latest UHD imaging technology. The two broadcasters are also looking for more co-pro partners to come on board.<\/p>\n
