Daniela Elstner, Executive Director of Unifrance, and Sarah Hemar, Director of Audiovisual, announced the winners of the 21st Unifrance TV Export Awards at the Trianon in Paris. Presented at the opening of the PROCIREP French Television Producer Awards, of which Unifrance is a partner, these awards recognize the best-selling French audiovisual programs worldwide.

The Unifrance TV Export Awards recognize the international appeal of French audiovisual creation in the fields of animation, documentary, and drama. Once again, the awards highlight the professionalism and expertise of French distribution companies.

“We are incredibly proud of last night’s award, which is a testament to the ambition of the show’s producers and Newen Connect’s ability to deliver the financial support that allowed 'Cat’s Eyes' to deliver such high production values.
