Viewpoints: Acquisition strategies
Monique Dobretz
Assistant producer - Buyer "Temps Présent"
TSR - Television Suisse Romande
Switzerland
What are your acquisition strategies?
I work for a weekly current affairs magazine "Temps Present" and we produce 70% of our programs with a strong local and national orientation. Therefore, I'm looking for strong international reports or documentaries on current or social affairs targeting a prime-time audience.
What products are you looking for?
Well documented reports and documentaries with good filmmaking and a strong narrative to make everyone feel concerned.
Can you name the most successful titles that you acquired this year?
"Miracle on the Hudson River" (Darlow Smithson / IMG World),
"10 things you need to know about losing weight" (BBC),
"Children of Taliban" (PBS),
"Ticket to Paradise" (DR),
"Web Warriors" (Films Transit).
