Keshet International Strikes First Natural History Content Deal Ahead Of London Screenings
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: Keshet International (KI) has struck its first ever natural history content deal with Finland’s MRP Matila Röhr Productions, along with picking up a Channel 4 sexual harassment doc.
Ahead of this month’s London Screenings, the Israeli powerhouse has taken on four feature-length docs, more than 70 shorts and two ‘making of’ shows, led by MRP feature Tale of the Sleeping Giants.
Filmed over three years in Lapland, the pic recently opened in Finnish cinemas and follows the lives of animals such as wolverines, reindeer, foxes, weasels, bears and humpback whales.
KI has also taken on MRP’s older features Tale of a Forest and Tale of a Lake, along with 2019’s Nature Symphony. Anke Stoll, KI’s SVP of Acquisitions and Co-productions, said the outfit is “in the process of expanding our catalog” and will “leverage the incredible archive footage to produce new titles for a growing market of buyers of blue-chip natural history content.” Elsewhere, Channel 4’s Undercover: Sexual Harassment – The Truth joins the KI slate.
