The 13th annual Rendez-Vous (3 – 7 Sepember) organized by TV France International will be held for the first time in Biarritz, France. Its location up to now has always been Saint Tropez.
The new venue for the Rendez-Vous, Le Bellevue Conference Center, will enable TV France International to double space for the exhibitors. According to the organizers, by choosing Biarritz, TV France International can continue to provide a high-standard as well as a friendly and warm atmosphere. In 2006, the event attracted more than 200 buyers and 54 French distributors. Rendez-Vous 2006 was, as usual, also well supported by producers.
As in previous years, the marketplace will have two sections:
1) a digital library equipped with over 120 screening stations (programme digitalisation has tripled the number of programmes screened by buyers – over 9000 in 2006) so that buyers can view the best and latest French productions (over two thirds of the programs will be presented on the international market for the first time);
2) an area especially set aside and designed for private meetings between buyers and French distributors and producers.
TV France International has 140 member companies and 22,000 programmes. Its website www.tvfrance-intl.com can be consulted in French, English, Spanish, Japanese and Chinese.
