Autentic has previously come on board as co-financing partner on The Archipelago (2 x 52’), Boréales’ latest blue-chip documentary currently in production and set for delivery this summer. The two-part natural history documentary explores tropical island ecosystems across the globe and reveals how geology has shaped the remarkable biodiversity of these isolated worlds.
Headed by Emmy® award-winning producer Fred Fougea, production company Boréales is one of the most successful production companies of prime-time natural history and science series in Europe. Its landmark documentaries have reached wide audiences on major international broadcasters including BBC, NHK, France Télévisions, France 2 and ZDF. With a strong network of international partners and access to leading creative talent, the company has built a reputation for producing high-quality content for global audiences.
Under the agreement, Autentic will distribute over 20 hours of blue-chip wildlife, history, and science programming, marking a strong addition to its growing factual catalogue. The slate includes the natural history series The Sanctuary and Wild France, Man’s Best Friend about our special connection with dogs, and First Man telling the saga of the origins of mankind.
Mirjam Strasser, Director of Sales & Distribution at Autentic, commented, “We are very pleased to work with the team at Boréales. Their films are a perfect fit for our catalogue and represent high-quality storytelling that resonates with international audiences. We are excited to give these outstanding titles a strong international distribution home.”
Fred Fouega, Head of Boreales said, “We were seduced by the editorial line and the team at Autentic. With this deal, we are entering now in a strong relationship with this very serious company in which we trust.“
With this acquisition, Autentic further strengthens its commitment to expanding its premium factual catalogue for broadcasters and platforms worldwide.
