MUMBAI: The recently concluded television trade event MipTV in Cannes attracted 11,000 delegates from more than 100 countries.
There were 4,000 buyers, including 1,000 digital buyers. MipFormats, combined with MipDoc, drew a record 1,800 delegates. Countries including the US, the UK, China, Turkey, and the Nordic territories all showed an increase in the number of delegates in Cannes.
Reed Midem, which organises the event every year, noted that the deals and conference sessions at MipTV 2015 confirmed that there are no longer any national or cultural barriers when it comes to content creation in any genre, most notably drama. Moreover, the second MIP Digital Fronts showed a free flow of expertise and ideas between traditional television and the online world.
Drama was a major conference strand in Cannes this week and included a closed-door international co-production summit attended by more than 80 senior-level decision-makers.
One of the summit panels featuring writers Sally Wainright and Anna Winger, and showrunner Teresa Fernandez Valdez, demonstrated how drama has broken free from the confines of culture, country, and language. Wainwright’s recent creations—the series ‘Happy Valley’ and ‘Last Tango in Halifax’—both feature small towns in the North of England. Novelist Winger’s first TV series ‘Deutschland ’83’ was written in German for a German audience and translated into English after being snapped up by the Sundance Channel in the US. Fernandez Valdez’s latest series ‘The Refugees’ was produced by an all-Spanish team with an English script, and backed and distributed by BBC Worldwide.
NBCUniversal International Television Production unveiled a new agreement with TF1 and Germany’s RTL to co-finance, develop, and produce three English-language crime and legal series set to go into production in 2016.
Screenings at MIPTV demonstrated both the cinematic transformation that television drama has gone through in recent years, and the borderless approach to production and finance. MIPTV’s world premiere TV screening of ITV Studios America’s ‘Texas Rising’ was shot in cinemascope and 6K, and was directed by Oscar-nominated film director Roland Joffé. ‘Versailles’, France’s biggest-ever TV series costing $30 million, is a 10-hour English-language Franco-Canadian co-production sold by Zodiak Rights.
The Millennial Shift, a key theme of this years’ event, demonstrated how millennials are a driving force behind change and development in the entertainment industry—by how they are producing, watching, and interacting with content across all platforms
