Forty-six French productions and nine Work in Progress projects will represent France this year.

French professionals are thus able to benefit from specific support composed of travel grants, the AIP system, and a press relay setup.

In addition, Unifrance is planning a networking event with a cocktail reception organized in partnership with the SCAM, Région Grand-Est, and the Institut Français in the Netherlands on Sunday, November 13.

A Unifrance delegation will be present from November 12 through 16.
