Markets

Unifrance has confirmed the dates for the 32nd Unifrance Rendez-Vous in Le Havre, the world’s most significant market dedicated to French audiovisual content. For the third year in a row, the event will take place on the Normandy coast, though the upcoming edition features a strategic change in its duration.

The 2026 market will run for four days, from Monday, September 7, to Thursday, September 10, shortening the previous five-day schedule. The dedicated market area will be accessible to participants for three full days, specifically on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

This streamlined format follows a successful 2025 edition in Le Havre, which served as a major hub for international business. Last year's figures included 150 audiovisual buyers from 40 different countries and 51 distribution firms.

The event's Screening Room offered more than 500 programs, complemented by a schedule of screenings, industry conferences, and networking events such as dinners and cocktail parties.
