Mathieu Béjot will depart after 18 years at TV France International on April 30. The association’s president, Hervé Michel, has been put in charge of maintaining continuity at the organisation until a replacement is appointed.

TV France International is the trade association of the country’s TV programme exporters, including producers, broadcasters and distributors. Its remit is to promote sales of French TV programmes and to facilitate international coproductions.

It operates Screenopsis, an online database and screening facility for French content, and is supported by Centre National du Cinéma et de l’Image Animée, the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs and Procirep.

“Under his leadership, TV France International has become a unique and respected international player. With his team, he has facilitated a strong growth of French TV exports, up 40% during the past five years,” said Michel.
