For the documentary category the award went to The Eye of Magnum (The Party Film Sales) and for fiction the award went to the series The Bureau season 1 produced by TOP - The Oligarchs Productions, Federation Entertainment.
“This year again we are happy to recognise 3 companies which have demonstrated the talent and diversity of distributors in this country. These Export Awards give us the opportunity to highlight the remarkable work carried out by the distributors we support at TV France on a daily basis”, said Sarah Hemar, executive Director, and Hervé Michel, President of TV France International.
