Elsa Keslassy International Correspondent On the heels of a 2024 box office which saw French movies clinching a near record market share, the Gallic film and TV promotion org Unifrance is expanding its Rendez-Vous with French Cinema, a mini-market gathering local sales agents and 500 international buyers from roughly 40 countries.

The 27th edition of the Paris Rendez-Vous, which is dedicated to French films and TV content, is taking place this year in a new location, at the Pullman Paris Montparnasse, boasting panoramic views of the city of lights.

The new space will allow French film and TV companies to be set up in a single location and spark dealmaking activity. “Three years after our merger with TV France International, it’s great to see everyone under the same banner and in a unique location.

It creates a vibrant atmosphere,” says Unifrance’s managing director Daniela Elstner, who previously led the Paris-based sales company Doc & Film International before joining the org.
