TVF International has closed sales across AsiaPac and Europe for the archaeology and history documentary Ulysses: From Myth to Science, commissioned by France TV.
TVF International closed deals with a number of broadcasters, including Germany’s ZDFinfo, SVT in Sweden, Sky Arts in New Zealand, Movistar Plus+ in Spain and Česká televize in the Czech Republic.
Ulysses: From Myth to Science was produced by Mediatika for France Télévisions. The documentary questions whether Ulysses truly existed and investigates the real-life inspirations behind the mythical creatures encountered by Homer. Mediatika collaborated with Ubisoft, the game studio behind the Assassin’s Creed franchise, to bring Ulysses’ world to life in vivid CGI.
“We are delighted to be representing Ulysses: From Myth to Science from our partners at Mediatika and Barradell,” said Sam Joyce, senior acquisitions manager at TVF International. “This is exactly the kind of premium specialist factual that cuts through internationally, as evidenced by the high-profile placements TVF’s Sales team have secured so far. It marries cutting-edge tech with new scientific discoveries and fascinating ancient history.”
“With Ulysses: From Myth to Science, we wanted to explore one of the world’s oldest stories through the lens of science and imagination—as both an archaeological quest and a human journey,” said Gregory Schnebelen, Mediatika’s CEO. “What emerges is a dialogue between myth and reality, revealing how closely knowledge and wonder have always been intertwined.”
