Rendez-vous de la Création Francophone
In partnership with the CNC and the SACD
Over the course of two days, nearly 200 one-on-one meetings enable French and French-speaking project holders to meet with actors in the international market.
Around fifteen projects in the development, writing or pre-production phase will soon be selected by a specific committee for their novelty, originality and high international potential.
The French-language fiction series projects will then be presented by their producers and authors to some fifteen foreign investors (distributors, co-producers, broadcasters, financial investors, etc.) during individual meetings to be held in September in La Rochelle.
