On the heels of Autentic's acquisition of Albatross World Sales, Mirjam Strasser, director of sales and acquisitions, tells ScreenMDM about the importance of scale, the need for authenticity, and the other major trends reshaping the business of factual in the run-up to Sunny Side of the Doc.

Autentic is at NEM Dubrovnik with its summer slate this week, showcasing a range of titles across its core strengths of current affairs, history, blue-chip wildlife, and travel.

Autentic has bought the boutique factual distributor Albatross World Sales, adding more than 600 hours of factual content to its slate, with Anne Olzmann remaining as MD of the outfit.

Launched with an English-language version at the end of last year, Autentic's Wheels & Steel is arriving with a localized edition in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

Autentic has secured the rights to distribute more than 20 hours of premium factual back-catalog from France's Boréales, following its previous work with the acclaimed production company on The Archipelago.
