Wildscreen Festival Marketplace

Bristol – the ‘green hollyWood’ Bristol has long-since played an important role in the UK’s creative economy, accounting for 46% of the creative industry jobs in the West of England and is commonly referred to as the capital of the world’s wildlife and environmental media industry. Bristol is also home to a sizeable number of independent production, distribution and post-production companies – and to the award-winning and world-leading model animators, Aardman.

PhoTo: DesTinaTion BrisTol

he Wildscreen Festival is an important marketplace for the wildlife filmmaking industry. With delegates arriving from every corner of the globe, it’s the perfect opportunity for film makers, executives, broadcasters, programme makers, funders, buyers and commissioners to meet faceto-face to make those all important deals. Films funded, sales agreed, distribution deals done and films promoted – it all happens here at the Wildscreen Festival. Set up your meetings in our new Wild Lounge – a dedicated space in the Watershed you can book on the day. Keep it formal around a table or grab a sofa for a more spontaneous and laid-back approach.

We are delighted to welcome so many old friends, familiar faces and, of course, many first-timers, and hope the Marketplace is a successful opportunity for all. Be sure to keep in touch with us and share your Festival Marketplace success stories with us: @WildscreenFest #WildscreenFest or events@wildscreen.org.uk.

local info Bristol is an attractive city, built around the historic harbour from which John Cabot set sail to make the first recorded landing by europeans in north America. Today, the harbour is the focus for other voyages of discovery – surrounded by a broad range of venues dedicated to pleasure, leisure and learning. For the visitor, Bristol offers all the attractions expected of an international city - interesting art galleries and museums, high quality live entertainment, a wide choice of restaurants and easy access to many other places of interest, including quaint seaside towns, and wildlife-rich countryside. The Festival is held in venues across Bristol, though most occur around the historic and cultural Harbourside, including Watershed Media Centre and Arnolfini, in the heart of the city.

Wendy darke

The challenge of taking natural history beyond its traditional heartland is something that the head of the BBC Natural History Unit relishes

After spending 20 years rising through the ranks at the Natural History Unit, Wendy Darke was confirmed as the head of the Bristol centre in March. She feels very fortunate: “It is the best job in the world. What’s so interesting about the output from the BBC Naturaly Histroy Unit is that we broadcast on all platforms to all audiences.” Building strong relationships with these audiences is something that’s very much on Darke’s radar. “Every now and then we get a new bit of science, and occasionally we get a new piece of technology, but you can’t plan a long-term strategy on those two things alone. You have to be thinking about what is the new creative approach that we’re going to take in terms of our programming skills. I think being more sophisticated about the editorial execution, so that it has the right tonality and style for how the different audiences want to enjoy their natural history, opens up opportunities.” Indeed, Darke sees many of these opportunities coming in the shape of non-core natural history scheduling. “For instance, we had an open day recently where we invited 50 of our overseas commercial clients to come and see what’s in production and the ideas that they might want to invest in. One client who works for the equivalent of ITV in France, said,

“

in effect, that they didn’t take natural history as it wasn’t really a factual channel – but that they did do animal dramas. So suddenly you’re pitching to slots that aren’t traditional natural history ones. “The reality is that a lot of our investment into our shows would be based on TV sales around the world, of which there’s a finite number of natural history slots. We know the top-end landmarks are lucrative, which is why you’re getting Discovery doing more fully-funded, you’ve got Disney, Parthenon and Sky… there are some

out, we had a strong social media activity. Having that response from the audience enabled us to find out what sequences they most enjoyed, and the subsequent special that went out was shaped by the editorial insights that came from this. The future for me is in that opportunity to engage fully with the audience before, during and after transmission; having a two-way contact and then going back to them with new content that reflects their interests. “I just feel that we’re poised now,” she continues. “I think we’re in a really exciting time because the technology, the facility to strengthen audiences in that 360° world, is genuinely there. For example, with Planet Earth Live we were streaming to 140 territories, we had hubs in seven countries and our audiences were interacting. “If audiences feel inspired through good content to take an interest in the natural world around them, that’s when it comes full circle. That’s what makes a festival like Wildscreen such a catalyst. You’re bringing together 600 people from around the world who have a shared passion, and it’s a concentrated opportunity to share the latest ideas, to look at the new trends and technologies, to make contacts and to think about creative opportunities – and also to do business. To have that event right here on our doorstep is just fantastic.”

The future for me is that opportunity to engage fully with the audience before, during and after transmission

big players in that market with a lot more money than I would say the BBC will ever have. Pressure on premium slots is going to drive costs down and make it more competitive than ever, so you have to go looking for new opportunities to get work out there. I find it very exciting to have to think about how to bring in audiences that wouldn’t necessarily be interested in traditional, factual natural history but who would be prepared to come to it through a different entry level.” One such entry level is social networking, and it’s an area that Darke considers a particular strength of the NHU. “When Frozen Planet went

Andrew JAckson

Following his appointment to the Discovery Channel this year, the industry veteran talks 3D, 4K and the importance of marketing…

he rate of change is extraordinary at the moment, and I think we’ll be looking at five years hence to see much the same sort of change that’s happened in the last ten.” If there’s one man who’s able to keep up with the pace of development in natural history broadcasting, it’s Andrew Jackson. The past three years have seen him move from Managing Director at Tigress Productions to Executive Vice President of Production and Development for Landmarks and Specials at Discovery, via a successful spell as Head of the BBC Natural History Unit. Jackson hasn’t always seen it this way, admitting that he felt the industry “went through the doldrums a few years ago”, although he does believe it is in a good place right now. “I think you had 20 years where not a huge amount happened, in the sense that it was technology that was driving most of the change. So, as new filming techniques and new cameras came on stream, the natural history industry would switch to those. But in the last ten years, television has changed inordinately in terms of documentaries, and that’s created a breadth in the way that natural history programmes are produced. If you look at the prizes that have been added to Wildscreen

“

over the past ten years, you will see that progression happen.” A newcomer to this year’s Panda Awards is the 3D category, although Jackson isn’t convinced that 3D will become a mainstream part of the process. “I think it becomes another way of making natural history, but I don’t think we’re going to shoot everything in 3D in the next five years. I just don’t see that happening.” However, 4K is something he does feel will be adopted widely: “I think that the natural history industry has always picked up new technology earlier than anyone else, mainly

majority of young people, including my daughters, tend not to notice that really. They tend not to have the loyalty to the BBC that some of us older folks do, and they are much much more savvy about going out to find the content that they want to watch. So, if I were to make a show about pandas, I would have to make sure that I have the ‘sneezing panda’ in that show in order for it to even begin to come on to my daughters’ radar. “I think what we’re looking for now, more than ever, are programmes that have moments in them, that are relatable, that can be publicised or in some way find their way out. Take Frozen Planet, you only have to look at ‘criminal penguins’ and you think to yourself, that was a very clever piece of marketing. You have a very simple sequence, you call it criminal penguins, you put it on YouTube and it brings people to it. So I do think that that is now a question when you are looking to commission something; you’re saying to yourself, how can I get this through the chatter, how can I get this through the buzz, how can I make this work given that there is so much material out there? We’ve got to be thinking about how we reach younger audiences, wider audiences, and in what way we can make a subject attractive in the marketplace.”

I think that’s what we are looking for now: programs that now, more than ever, have moments in them that are relatable

“

because we have assets that you can keep forever. You can show it this year and you can show it in 20 years’ time and people will still want to watch it.” Jackson views the increasingly fragmented way in which content can be consumed as having a huge impact on the type of films that are commissioned. “We’re still very lucky in the UK; people still make an appointment to view”, he says. “The BBC still has a pretty great stranglehold, it’s still number one and two in the EPG and it’s not broken up by adverts.

What is music’s function in wildlife film? How can it enhance what we see? Does it have a role to play in story telling, and what can its impact be in terms of emotion drama and pace? In this course, you’ll unearth the answers to the above and get hands-on exploring individual strands within a piece of music and experimenting with laying music to picture. Also covers business matters – music budgets, contracts copyright, publishing and royalties.

The top eight finalists will perform in the Wildscreen’s Got Talent! final in front of a live audience on Thursday 18th October at the Watershed Cinema 1. For full details on the live final, see page 37.
