Markets

The 25th edition of Le Rendez-Vous, the leading international market organized by TV France International (the industry leader of French audiovisual program exporters) dedicated to French content, held in Biarritz from Sunday 8th to Thursday 12th September, in a beautiful small city on the Basque coast in the south-west of France.

There are many reasons about the importance of Le Rendez-Vous Biarritz as a great opportunity for networking and business: 260 foreign buyers, more than 130 sales executives from 68 different companies and a great library composed by more than 1.100 programs available for screening are only a part of this beautiful market.

What made it really interesting were the events that marked the days of the experts: in fact, in addition to conferences on current topics such as "Audience Trends: French Content in Demand" held by Avril Blondelot (HEAD OF CONTENT INSIGHT, EURODATATV WORLDWIDE) or “25 Years of French Exportation” presented by Benoît Danard (DIRECTOR OF RESEARCH, STATISTICS AND FORECAST, CNC) and Sarah Hemar (EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, TV FRANCE INTERNATIONAL), Le Rendez-Vous 2019 is characterized by a series of lunches and dinners based around productions making their debut on the international marketplace.

All these convivial moments were the perfect opportunity for producers, distributors and buyers to meet each other in a relaxed place, to consolidate and to create contacts and business opportunities.
The 25th edition of Le Rendez-Vous was certainly a confirmation, for people that had already been a part of it, and it was a happy discovery for those people that made his first experience.
