Revealead the Nominees for the 21st Unifrance TV Export Awards
On December 16, Unifrance will present the 21st edition of its TV Export Awards at the Trianon in Paris. Held during the PROCIREP French Television Producer Awards ceremony, these awards aim to highlight the French television programs with the strongest international sales.

Since 2004, the TV Export Awards have recognized the efforts of French distribution companies and the global reach of French audiovisual content across three categories: Animation, Documentary, and Fiction.

Stable Performance in 2023
In 2023, sales of French audiovisual programs reached €203.4 million, a slight 5.3% decline from the exceptional figures of 2022. However, this still marks only the third time in 30 years that the €200 million milestone has been exceeded, reflecting the continued strength of French exports in the sector.
