Unifrance provides support to French films at international film markets, from the time of their sale to their distribution in foreign territories. Unifrance plays a role at every stage in the life of a French film abroad: from its selection at a recognized film festival or its screening at an international market to its commercial release in one or more international territories. In this way, Unifrance works to increases the visibility of all recent French films. Unifrance also participates at all major international film festivals and markets, such as the Cannes, Berlin, Venice, Rotterdam, San Sebastian, Locarno, and Pusan International Film Festivals, the Rome Film Festival, the American Film Market (AFM) in Los Angeles, and so on. The Association also facilitates the presence of artistic delegations at these events, appoints local press attachés, and provides promotional and marketing facilities for French professionals. |
