WGBH Boston has prebought The Blob: A Genius Without a Brain<\/em> from ARTE Distribution for its NOVA strand.<\/p>\n

Produced in 4K by Hauteville Productions for ARTE\u2019s science slot, The Blob: A Genius Without a Brain<\/em> blends science fiction, animation, the beauty of nature, humor and cutting-edge science to explore a surprising organism: the blob, more commonly known as a slime mold. NOVA\u2019s version of the film, Secret Mind of Slime<\/em>, is slated to premiere this fall on PBS.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe love delivering mind-blowing science to our viewers,\u201d said NOVA Co-Executive Producer Julia Cort. \u201cSlime molds certainly fall into that category: single-celled organisms who can navigate mazes, choose between foods, and create efficient networks\u2014no brain required.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough they\u2019ve been around for one billion years, slime molds are now leading us into a whole new area of science,\u201d added NOVA Co-Executive Producer Chris Schmidt. \u201cThis film follows pioneering experts on an international investigation that could challenge our worldview on living matter and uncover the secrets of brainless intelligence.\u201d<\/p>\n

ARTE Distribution has sold and presold The Blob<\/em> to other broadcasters such as NHK in Japan, BBC in the UK, SVT in Sweden, Plane\u0300te + in France, Radio Canada, RTHK in Hong Kong, CCTV in China, EBS in Korea, Planet + in Poland and RTS in Serbia.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a high international demand for science,\u201d said Ce\u0301line Payot Lehmann from ARTE Distribution, \u201cas it\u2019s a universal theme that travels well and answers the market\u2019s need for high production value (4K, CGI, 3D…). ARTE has a very successful weekly science slot for which we constantly seek partners and presales. We are launching for example The Magical World of Moss<\/em> produced by Zadig and ARTE France. Moss is at the origin of life on Earth and is helping scientists in the nuclear field and biotechnologies. Another example is Searching for Planet<\/em> 9<\/em>, produced by Look for Science and Arte France, that follows the space race for our ninth planet, located at the edge of our solar system.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
