Lucy Smith, the director of MIPDoc, MIPFormats and MIPJunior, tells <\/em>TV Real about this year\u2019s MIPDoc, which takes place April 7 and 8.<\/em><\/p>\n

The mantra in both the drama and kids’ businesses over the last few years has been, it’s all about partnerships. A similar ethos has emerged in the documentary sector as producers, broadcasters, distributors and platforms align to deliver high-end, compelling stories that can travel the globe. As such, the art and science of co-production feature prominently on the MIPDoc agenda this year\u2014on the conference schedule, in the screenings and in the various networking opportunities.<\/p>\n

Lucy Smith, the director of MIPDoc, MIPFormats and MIPJunior, says\u00a0there are three key pillars to this year\u2019s MIPDoc, which is expected to attract some 850 participants, including 400 buyers and commissioners.<\/p>\n

\"***Image***\"The first is the fourth-annual MIPDoc International Co-Production Summit, which started as a breakfast for broadcasters interested in pursuing alliances. \u201cWe work with our clients to make sure we’re delivering what the market needs,” Smith says. “And they wanted someplace where they could find and meet new partners. So we put together this event.\u201d The summit will be open to up to 50 executives\u2014\u201cit\u2019s really curated,\u201d Smith says\u2014and will feature a keynote speech by Woodcut Media CEO Kate Beal. \u201cShe\u2019ll talk about the importance of working with all the players, big and small, and taking chances and being creative.\u201d Executives who will attend the summit include Avalon Television Factual\u2019s Jamie Isaacs, CJ E&M\u2019s Andrew Lee, France T\u00e9l\u00e9visions\u2019 Thierry Mino and PBS\u2019s Melanie Wallace.<\/p>\n

Another key part of MIPDoc is a series of \u201ccontent strategy sessions,\u201d Smith says. \u201cThis is an opportunity for us to bring in important content execs who will talk to an audience of producers about their programming, acquisition and commissioning strategies. So far we\u2019ve confirmed David Royle from Smithsonian Channel, Sayumi Horie from NHK, and Germaine Deagan Sweet and Tom Koch from PBS International. We\u2019re asking producers to sign up in advance for those.\u201d<\/p>\n

The third pillar involves the MIPDoc screenings library\u2014the largest in the world for documentary and factual programming. \u201cThere are 400 buyers and 160 commissioning editors who come together over the weekend to screen,\u201d Smith says. In addition to completed programs, the library includes development projects from producers looking for funding and partners. \u201cWe are proud of the success stories,\u201d Smith notes, citing as an example Urban Canyons\u2019 Epic Warrior Women<\/em>. The winner of the MIPDoc International Pitch last year, the project was subsequently commissioned by Smithsonian Channel.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a big story about the importance of co-production and finding the right partners that is not always evident at MIPDoc, and we really want to develop it more,\u201d Smith says.<\/p>\n

Other highlights this year include the third-annual World Screen Factual Trendsetter Awards, which are being presented to National Geographic\u2019s Christian Drobnyk, France T\u00e9l\u00e9visions\u2019 Mino and CuriosityStream\u2019s Steve Burns; and the World Premiere TV Screening of NHK\u2019s Japan from Above<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
