TVFI to hold Rendez-Vous to lure Indian TV industry

TV France International will be organising the sixth edition of their market named Rendez-Vous in Saint Tropez, one of the hottest places in French Riviera from the September 4 to 8, 2000.

TV France International, which wants its presence to be felt in the Indian market, had organised a market session in Delhi last year on the occasion of the French film and television showcase in December last year.

Last year TVFI’s representatives met several heads of the Indian television channels including Doordarshan and discussed various plans and strategies for the future. TV France International is, in fact, a non-profit organisation and promoter of French Television productions in the international markets.

As Raghu Devraj of the French Embassy says, “With the increasing number of television channels the demand for quality programmes has also increased. TVFI is capable of matching this demand. It also provides information about new productions and various trends in the international market. I think, Saint Tropez market will be the best place for Indian television campaigns which want to acquire quality programmes.”
