FILM.UA Distribution has signed an agreement with Al-Jazeera for the sale of TV rights to Great Dreamers series. The acquired TV rights cover all the countries of the Arab world. Docudramas, produced by FILM.UA and Signal Red, are to be broadcast in Arabic. 

Great dreamers is a series of programs devoted to outstanding persons, pioneers and path breakers in science and research, whose ideas were ahead of their time and seemed daring and unrealistic. Among them: Nikola Tesla, Jules Verne, Leonardo da Vinci, Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, Alfred Nobel, Archimedes and others. Modern technologies allow to reproduce the main life stages of famous scientists and explorers, as well as to re-create their world of fantasies and dreams with the help of CGI-graphics.

Programs from the series Great dreamers became winners of prestigious international festivals. In 2013 docudrama "Free Energy of Tesla" and "Jules Verne. A life long journey" received Platinum Remi Award in the category of documentary film at WorldFest Houston. In 2014 docudrama "Leonardo da Vinci" also received Platinum Remi Award in the same category at WorldFestHouston, as well as SILVER SCREEN at The US International Film & Video Festival and intermedia-globe Gold at World Media Festival Hamburg. Also, film about Leonardo da Vinci won intermedia-globe Gold in the docudrama category at World Media Festival Hamburg. "Jules Verne. A life long journey" won "Silver Dolphin" in the docudrama category at Cannes Corporate Media & TV Awards.
