MIPTV (Marché International des Programmes de Télévision) is an event which takes place annually in Cannes, using the facilities and infrastructure which the town has developed over the years to host other important events such as the Cannes Film Festival.
It is essentially a content market for co-producing, buying, selling, financing and distributing entertainment content. It provides the people involved in the TV, film, digital and audiovisual content, production and distribution industry a market conference and networking forum to discover future trends and trade content rights on a global level.
This event is very closely related to the MIPCOM event, but retains its distinct focus. The MIPCOM event takes place in the same venue in October each year.
Since 2010 MIPTV launched MIPFormats, “the pre-MIPTV formats conference & pitching showcase”, that gathers producers, commissioners, buyers, distributors and aspiring creators of breakthrough formats.
MIPDoc is where international buyers, sellers, producers and commissioners of documentary and factual programmes screen new content and do business. MIPDoc calls itself “the international showcase for documentary screenings”.
