Autentic Distribution
Autentic Distribution is the sales division of Autentic, a subsidiary of Jan Mojto's Beta Film, and one of the leading German global distributors of high-quality documentaries and factual series. Over the years, Autentic Distribution has grown an international network within public and private commercial broadcasting, streaming services and other relevant platforms. Our wide-ranged and unrivaled distribution catalogue offers the best non-fiction productions from independent producers and established media agencies from around the world. With a hands-on, agile and transparent approach, we work closely with producers and filmmakers, delivering customized marketing and distribution strategies for each title, extending the lifecycle of productions in a sustainable way. For our distribution catalogue, we are looking for documentaries with strong narratives, compelling subjects and a clear appeal to a worldwide audience. We help producers to finance their projects through partner search and co-financing, even in the early stages of development. Our focus lies on a wide range of genres: Wildlife, Nature, Science & Technology and History. We are also known amongst our diverse clients for strong content in the genres Current Affairs and People & Places. We are constantly looking for series or one-offs that can fascinate a wide audience.
Mirjam Strasser, head of sales and acquisitions at Germany’s Autentic Distribution, showcases the new factual titles on the company’s playlist for C21’s Digital Screenings this week, and gives her views on the changing market for documentaries.
Can you tell us about the shows on Autentic’s playlist this week?
Our selection of programmes actually reflects our whole catalogue very well. We are very diversified, whether that’s in terms of genre or production style, or whether it’s a series, a one-off or a feature documentary. With our current highlights The Apennine Mountains and Europe’s Forgotten Pilgrim Routes, we provide lightweight travel content that everyone is looking for. Stone Men II and Heroes of the Deep are our new male-oriented factual entertainment series, and Wildlife Diaries Australia and Rewilding: Back to Nature are destined for our clients looking for wildlife conservation programming.
A special programme is The History of Camping, which traces this popular form of travel back to its origins. The documentary is visually great; we see archive footage of a VW Bulli in the African savannah fighting its way through mud – hardly imaginable travelling today with such an old car. Meanwhile, the three Empire Builders miniseries in our playlist are looking at the empires of China, Greece and the Netherlands, respectively, from their inception to their impact on the world until today. High-quality CGI brings these past empires back to life.
