Reed MIDEM, organiser of the two leading international television markets in Cannes MIPCOM and MIPTV has announced on Tuesday the launch of the brand new MIPDrama Screenings.

The one day platform for some of the hottest new drama shows on the market will be held on Sunday April 3, 2016, on the eve of MIPTV (April 4-7).

Some 250 leading international acquisition executives will be invited to take part in the event scheduled for Sunday April 3, 2016. An opening conference session will present ‘The State of the Drama Industry’, highlighting breakout drama successes from major territories over the past six months, and providing an overview of the most successful imports in major territories.

MIPDrama will then host screenings of curated fresh content with a major focus on the European Screenings (UK, France, Germany, Nordics, etc.), as well as other major drama-producing territories.

Networking events throughout the day will allow buyers to meet with distributors and producers whose programmes are on show.
