The 32nd edition of the Unifrance Rendez-Vous TV marketplace will commence in Le Havre on September 7, showcasing over 350 television programs from France’s major distributors. The four-day event features approximately 50 exclusive screenings spanning scripted dramas, animated content, and documentary productions, all positioned for international distribution. Industry discussions and presentations on France’s television export performance will complement the marketplace offerings.
The gathering attracts roughly 150 buyers representing 40 countries alongside more than 50 local distribution companies. Despite streamlining its format this year, the marketplace maintains a comprehensive schedule of panel discussions, networking events, and evening functions designed to facilitate business connections and showcase French programming capabilities.
Featured titles demonstrate the breadth of content on offer. “Beasts of the Colosseum” explores ancient Rome’s wild animal spectacles, while “Swapped” presents a 19th-century Paris narrative centered on two mothers and a secret infant exchange. Literary adaptation “The Red and the Black” chronicles a young man’s ambitious social climb, whereas “Country Spy” follows a retired intelligence officer investigating crimes in her rural hometown. Additional selections include the children’s animated series “Super-Lucha,” featuring masked luchadores battling evil in Mexico, and “The Nefertiti Case,” which addresses museum politics and cultural heritage disputes.
