What we delivered.
The table prepared for filming
The filming environment was prepared as a coherent table presentation rather than a collection of disconnected props. Reconstructed vessels, ingredients and finished preparations were arranged for explanation and camera coverage during the Athens session.
Interpretation for an international audience
The contribution translated specialist historical knowledge into a direct visual encounter for the French programme’s international audience, allowing food and objects to be understood through preparation, handling and spoken interpretation.
A transparent production record
A public excerpt identifies the programme and subject, while thirteen production photographs and dated camera files document the Athens filming session on 13 June 2019. The exact broadcast date and final on-screen credit wording remain under review and are not presented as confirmed.
