A Word from the Director

Over the years, it has maintained its unique position as an international gathering where talent, industry professionals and audiences come together, while also serving as a privileged observer of the changes taking place within a constantly evolving sector.

Today, the audiovisual landscape is undergoing unprecedented transformation. Streaming platforms have profoundly changed viewing habits and behaviours, while the proliferation of screens, formats and content offerings is reshaping the way we engage with programmes. At the same time, international fiction and documentary production has never been richer or more ambitious.

Against this constantly changing backdrop, the Monte-Carlo Television Festival has played a pioneering role since its inception, offering an informed perspective on the transformations shaping this dynamic industry.

Each edition is therefore conceived as a balance between discoveries, premieres, encounters with talent, exchanges with audiences and industry events. The presence of major established broadcasters alongside international streaming platforms reflects the diversity of the sector and enables the Festival to bring together worlds and cultures from across theglobe.

The Golden Nymph Competition is central to this ambition. A reflection of the vitality of the industry, it showcases the excellence and diversity of international productions and honours the talent helping to shape the evolution of storytelling, formats and narratives.

The Business Forum reflects this same commitment to anticipating the changes ahead. Through its conferences and discussions, the Festival gives a voice to those who conceive, produce and shape the content of tomorrow, helping us to better understand the economic, technological and creative transformations redefining our industry.

Because beyond programmes and trends, the Festival is above all a place a place where people come together. A place where industry professionals come together, where emerging talent meets leading international figures, where audiences discover new works, and where tomorrow’s collaborations take shape.

To remain curious, to listen, to understand new viewing habits, to embrace change and to continue to surprise: this is the ambition of the Monte-Carlo Television Festival.

Because in an industry that is constantly evolving, looking to the future also means knowing when to reinvent
