International television distributors used to be exactly that – specialists in finding buyers around the world for shows made either in-house at a sister production outfit or on behalf of a third party.

Licensing finished tape remains a cornerstone of these companies’ activities, but the lines between programmes sales, development, coproduction and finance are increasingly blurred, with the growth of streaming adding a further layer of complexity.

Cineflix Media rights CEO Tim Mutimer, Newen Connect CEO Rodolphe Buet, Hat Trick Productions group commercial director Paul Cohen and Federation Studios co-head of distribution Guillaume Pommier spoke to Hayley Babcock about these issues and more.
