On the occasion of the 5th Export Day, Unifrance unveils the first trends for French productions in movie theaters, in festivals, on SVOD platforms, and on TV abroad during 2024.
The presentation of results traditionally presented at the Unifrance Rendez-Vous in Paris this year embraces all formats: French feature films, but also audiovisual programs, short films and immersive works that marked 2024. A section on television joins the three others devoted to movie theaters, festivals and SVOD platforms.
