An international celebrity at age 19 and the highest paid female performer in the world, Josephine Baker rose from a poverty-stricken background in St Louis, Missouri, USA, to become the celebrated darling of Paris.

Josephine found fame and a vast fortune in France where talent was all that mattered and colour was not a barrier, as it had been back in America. She broke part of that barrier by becoming the first African-American female to star in a major motion picture, Zouzou, and again when she refused to perform if a venue had any racial discrimination policies.

During World War Two she became a member of the French Resistance, moving freely under the noses of the occupation forces. She was as daring in her role as a spy, as she was in her stage performances. Pretending they were part of her band or a choreographer, she would take Resistance fighters from one place to another, hide vital information on her body and even carry sheet music covered in additional information written in invisible ink.

After the war and having been accorded highest civilian honours, Josephine began adopting her “Rainbow Tribe” of diverse children and by the time she finished, she had gathered a dozen. 

Focusing on the personality of this generous, groundbreaking artist and her commitment to children, the documentary features exclusive interviews and insights to a legendary performer. This is a uniquely in-depth profile of a most endearing and complex human being.

STELLAR IMAGE TV is bringing their new CHEF 2CHEF series to MIPTV this year. Billed as a different type of food show comprising traditional TV episodes in each series, it also provides different mobile content, as well as the TV episodes, for audiences who prefer their entertainment when they want, how they want. 

The series is hosted by Chef Alberico Nunziata, executive Chef at the famed Beverly Hills Hilton in California, where he creates food for the Oscar Nominees Luncheon, Golden Globes Awards, Publicists Guild Awards © and the Milken Gala, among other prestigious events and is known for his appearances on Los Angeles station KCAL, as well as on an early series of Italy’s Top Chef.

CHEF 2 CHEF features Chef Nunziata talking to renowned chefs about their life and history in the kitchen, as well as cooking some of their respective signature dishes together. They will also visit local food markets, stores and restaurants.

Our flagship travel series is Destination:. Hosted by acclaimed actor John Rhys-Davies, the first season - Destination: Mediterranean - reveals a mix of familiar and exotic, with inside perspectives from those who actually live at our travel destinations. Rather than spend a few minutes at a specific location, "Destination:" delves behind the scenes with a full hour of in-depth entertainment and information.

Places you know.  Places you think you know.  Places you ought to know.

Visions is the complementary Arts and Culture series from the team at Stellar Image. Shot simultaneously with Destination: and also hosted by John Rhys-Davies, the series explores venues of artistic, cultural or historical significance revealing centuries-old locations and buildings, fascinating histories and customs, unusual traditions carried out to this day and outstanding artists, galleries and museums. In addition to visionaries of the past, the series will feature those whose visions of sustainability are moving our planet into its future.

Brushes With Celebrity presents rarely – if ever – heard stories from famous celebrities. Originally interviewed for radio, these never-aired stories will now be accompanied by animation, with added music and/or appropriate sound effects to enhance the story.

These stories come from an archive containing more than 150,000 celebrity interviews conducted over 50 years. Some interviews only lasted 10-15 minutes, while others lasted much longer (including one of seven-hours), all chocked-full of previously unheard and entertaining stories. While those interviews varied in length, so to do the stories contained in this archive.

Brushes With Celebrity provides an endless supply of entertaining and informative content with unique stories about the stars, told by the stars themselves in this truly original format.
