Viewpoints: acquisitions strategies
Joanna Pogorzelska What are your acquisition strategies? Our strategies have not changed much recently. We are the first documentary channel produced in Poland. We broadcast carefully selected programs from all over the world, always connected with the condition of man and humanity, presenting diversified topics and points of view. Many of them are feature length, festival awarded events. We devote much attention to the growing interest in docs in Poland and to the Polish documentary tradition (directors such as Oscar awarded Andrzej Wajda, Krzysztof Kieњlowski, Kazimierz Karabasz, Marcel Јoziсski). We buy docs which are ambitious in message but attractive in the form.
What products are you looking for? We buy many genres of documentaries from history to contemporary topics, from art to science. What we don't buy is reality shows. We broadcast 30', 52'and 90 programs. We look for them all over the world, however, according to law, 51 % should be European. What were your key acquisition deals in 2007? Believe it or not, we signed 190 contracts in 2007. It is really hard to say which of them were the key ones. We work with both large companies like Granada, TF1, ABC, and ZDF, and with smaller independent distributors. I would prefer not to give the names right now, as the list is too long to select. What are your plans for MIPTV? As usual, I am looking for great programs dealing with important world issues. |
