The London TV Screenings announced that 29 distributors will take part in its 2024 schedule from February 26 to March 1. The figure is already an increase on the total number of participating distributors in 2023, with a rise in the number of internationally-headquartered companies heading to London to showcase content to buyers.
The four founding distributors, All3Media International, Banijay, Fremantle and ITV Studios, will be joined by: Abacus Media Rights, Beta Film GmbH, Blue Ant Media, BossaNova Media, Cineflix Rights, DCD Rights, Dogwoof, Eccho Rights, Federation Studios, Fifth Season, Fox Entertainment Global, Hat Trick International, Keshet International, Lionsgate, NBCUniversal Formats, Newen Connect, Off the Fence, Paramount Global Content Distribution, Passion Distribution, Red Arrow Studios International, Sony Pictures Television, Studiocanal, TVF International, Viaplay Content Distribution, and Warner Bros. International Television Production, with each set to deliver a compelling mix of scripted, non-scripted and format buyers events.
“The London TV Screenings 2024 is set to be even bigger than the 2023 event, which is no mean feat in these challenging times. Having been a ‘must-attend’ for London-headquartered distributors for many years, the event is now warmly welcoming more participants from overseas, so it is really becoming a pivotal moment in the calendar that will continue to grow and evolve from one year to the next,” a London TV Screenings spokesperson said.
The third annual event in 2023 attracted 28 studios/distributors, an 87% increase on the 2022 edition, and more than 500 international buyers. The fourth annual Screenings will again see the group of leading distributors working together to offer expertly curated sessions, exclusive first looks and “deep dives” into some of the most hotly-anticipated formats, scripted and non-scripted content, as well as the chance to connect with world-class on and off-screen talent.
