The 26th Festival de la Fiction La Rochelle, an event where all French and foreign professionals working in the field of audiovisual dramatic fiction can meet, exchange, and reflect, will take place from September 10 to 15. Unifrance will be reinforcing its presence with two new initiatives.
On Thursday, September 12, Unifrance joins forces with TV5MONDE, lUSPA, TRANSPERFECT MEDIA, the Sodec, and Wallonie-Bruxelles Images (WBI) to propose a Grand Déjeuner de la Fiction Francophone that will take place at La Yole de Chris.
For the first time, Unifrance and the Festival de la Fiction have brought together a foreign press jury of three international journalists:
- João Antunes, Portugal
- Noémie Jadoulle, Belgium
- Stefania Carini, Italy
The jury will award the first Foreign Press x Unifrance Prize to a selected French drama.
The winners will be announced on Saturday September 14 at La Coursive, with comedian Antonia De Rendinger, as Master of Ceremonies, who will also officiate at the Festival opening.
