Overview

  • The market runs Sept. 1–5, opening at Le Havre’s MuMa with Mayor Édouard Philippe and CNC president Gaëtan Bruel in attendance.
  • Unifrance expects roughly 140–150 buyers as companies trim teams and enforce stricter travel policies, marking a modest dip from last year.
  • About 50–51 sales companies will present a cross‑genre slate spanning fiction, animation and documentaries, with more than 500 programs available.
  • Program highlights include France TV Distribution’s gala for Vendetta, Studiocanal showcasing A Prophet after its Venice premiere, and Federation’s screening of Nature: The Call for Reconciliation.
  • French TV export figures will be unveiled, and Unifrance president Gilles Pélisson will discuss consumption measurement with Médiamétrie CEO Yannick Carriou, positioning the event as a key lead‑in to MIPCOM.
