FIPADOC Meet & Match: VISEGRAD 2026
With Fipadoc Meet & Match: Visegrad 2026, we aim at creating an accessible platform for international professionals to dive into the French industry and get to understand its mechanisms and identify key players. The How to coproduce with France session offers exciting opportunities for professionals from V4 countries and all-around Europe. Moderated by a CNC representative (French National Centre of Cinema), it introduces key schemes and French institutions and highlights them through case studies of successful coproductions delivered by experimented producers. The session give the attendees keys and ideas to start collaboration and design their coproduction ambitions more efficiently. It is designed as a premise to the formal Producers meet producers session. Besides, we'll propose a simultaneous translation of the line-ups delivered by 2 of the main French broadcasters: France Télévisions and ARTE France. These 2 line-ups will allow the international professionals to dive into the different slots and co-production possibilities they offer and to get information about the editorial lines of the 2 main French TV broadcasters. They will meet the people who coproduce and prebuy documentaries and learn about their line-ups and the way they work in different genres: Society & Politics, History, Science & Discovery, Arts & Culture. Both line-ups are usually introduced by CEO of FTV and ARTE, which shows the strategic importance of Fipadoc for the French and European industry
