Paris, 07 March 2019 - MIPDoc 2019 will feature a series of high-profile premiere showcases from ZDF Enterprises and its new partner Off the Fence, Smithsonian Channel in conjunction with Arrow Media, plus a World Premiere TV Screening from French distributor About Premium Content.
MIPDoc, the world's largest conference and co-production marketplace and screenings library for the factual community, takes place in Cannes, France on 6 and 7 April 2019, ahead of the MIPTV, the international market for content development and distribution, which runs in the city from 8-11 April.
The MIPDoc programme this year will focus on accelerating content development and discovery, through a string of strategic updates from key players shaping the factual industry, plus exclusive previews of upcoming high-end content.
Two of the world leaders in non-fiction content, ZDF Enterprises and Off the Fence have recently joined forces, their combined catalogues consisting of thousands of hours of award-winning factual programming offer fresh perspectives and high production values across a wide range of genres. At MIPDoc, Off the Fence Founder and CEO Ellen Windemuth and ZDF Enterprises' VP Unscripted, Co-CEO Off the Fence, Ralf Rueckauer, will present their strategy for their future cooperation and their latest programme highlights.
Following Smithsonian Channel's February 2019 launch in the UK and Ireland, MIPDoc plays host to a sneak preview and creative conversation surrounding the launch of Britain in Colour - the network's first European original franchise in partnership with Arrow Media, based on its popular signature US series America in Colour.
