TELEVISION AND VIDEO
Launched in 1931, French television is one of the most highly regulated in europe, coming under the supervision of the Conseil Supérieur de l’audiovisuel. But it is also one of the most forward
looking, vying with the uk to be in the forefront of delivering tV entertainment via new channels and platforms. In terms of overall choice, France comes third in europe with 833 channels, after
Spain (1,262) and Italy (1,109) but comfortably ahead of the uk (695) and Germany (568).
as in most european countries, French television is provided by a public broadcaster – formerly a number of separate units but a single company, France télévisions, since February 2010 – and
an array of private companies most of them delivering their programming as digital terrestrial television (dtt, or tNt – télévision Numérique terrestre – as it is known in France). In terms of
audience share, the free-to-air dtt channels are catching up with the state broadcaster at a rate of around 2% a year. But, although they get good audiences, the smaller companies are finding
it hard to generate enough revenue to stay on air; indeed, one of the original champions of dtt programming, Canal J, went off air in 2009.
the four main channels account for over 60% of the market: tF1 for around 23%, France 2 for around 18% and M6 and France 3 for around 10% each. No other channel of the dozen or so important
enough to be measured gets a share of much over 3% and half of them less than 2%.

two facts sum up the paradoxes of the French television market. On the one hand, there are a lot of laws: recent legislation barred public broadcaster France télévisions from showing advertisements between 8.00pm and 6.00am (an attempt to block advertising during the remaining hours was postponed after intensive lobbying by the industry but can be expected to happen eventually).
On the other hand, there is a lot of innovation: 10 million or more French homes receive their television over an adSL (broadband) line, putting France well ahead of the european pack in this
respect. the sending of tV signals to handheld devices (mobile phones or tablets) is also a growth sector.
Given the close links between French tV and the French cinema business – tV companies are obliged by law to invest a certain amount of their revenue in film production – films play a significant
part in the television business. But, with a very robust (and robustly subsidised) national film industry and a strong sense of film culture, the space left over after the demand for French and Hollywood films has been met is fairly limited. a complete survey of films screened on French television would be impossible, but we believe that a snapshot of three of the top French movie channels
provides a pretty clear picture of what is on offer to ‘mainstream’ subscribers: much as in theatres, a mixture of French and american movies, with a few library titles to fill the off-peak hours.
all channels repeat their main titles three or more times over a one-week period.

*dates surveyed: april 11-17, 2013. Channels surveyed: two of the half-dozen Vivendi-owned CinéCinéma channels, CinéCinéma Premier and CinéCinéma Classic (the latter having close links
with the Cinémathèque Française), plus mobile phone provider Orange’s ‘arthouse’ channel Cine Novo, which features several hours of non-film programming daily. No German films or co-productions were screened on any channel surveyed.
On other channels – free-to-air or subscriber-based – surveyed over the same seven-day period by French website Cinefil.com, the picture was much the same, although slightly more nuanced
by the inclusion of Franco-German cultural channel arte in the mix:

Germany was represented by three films, one on Canal+, BarBara; and two on arte: GerHard rICHter – PaINtING and silent classic der StudeNt VON PraG.
as for the non-tV ancillary business, France came somewhat late to home-video – in the early years, when rental was booming and sell-through beginning to take off, the country lagged behind
– and French audiences were initially slow to embrace the idea of buying dVds and Blu-ray discs to an extent found in the other two european market leaders, Germany and the uk. It remains,
however, a very large market, of which the small slice that will always be the lot of a non-French-speaking/non-Hollywood supplier of product, can still be an attractive proposition.
Figures published by the International Video Federation in its 2012 annual report give the following basic statistics:

according to the Centre National du Cinéma et de l’Image animée in March 2013, using figures which are both more recent and go into much greater depth than those of the IVF, the physical distribution of dVd and Blu-ray units has declined by 25.2% in France since 2009 (when the CNC’s previous report was published) but still accounted for 85% of the ancillary market, leaving just 13%
for the emerging phenomenon of VOd. Most of the drop was caused by a decline in dVd sales; Blu-ray sales increased slightly, but not enough to offset the dVd trend.

ancillary sales as a whole were down 11.2% over the three-year period, with price reductions more or less across the board in an effort to slow the decline. the only real exception was dVd backcatalogue prices, suggesting that it is still a seller’s market for those retailers supplying hard-core film fans. as for content, the message is broadly the same as for theatrical and television:
French and uS films vie for the lead, with the latter well ahead on the home-entertainment front.
VOd is certainly a growth sector, with the CNC identifying 75 current suppliers (not all of them, of course, film channels).

It is, however, hard to be sure what exactly is meant by VOd in a market as developed as the French one. Most streaming platforms also sell dVds and Blu-ray discs online in transactions which
are just like any other online purchase. and subscription television companies allow subscribers to view a film over a 48-hour period for a small extra payment in exactly the same way as do
streaming video suppliers. Finally, platforms labeled as VOd often include a ‘buy’ option, putting them in the same business as the many retail internet portals. It is, therefore, not always easy to
say where tV stops and VOd begins, or which retailers should be counted as dVd retailers and which as on-demand suppliers.
detailed analysis by country of origin of the dVds and Blu-ray discs sold in France is simply not available. However, the same process which governs the more traditional ancillary markets – a
film receives a theatrical window, thereby generating ancillary demand and making a home-video release viable – shows every sign of also happening on the VOd market. Price structures are
also sometimes puzzling, suggesting that, once a subscriber has signed up, prices are no longer sensitive. It can also be cheaper to buy a dVd version of a title than it is to rent or stream the
same title.
Of the 79 German films (not including minority co-productions) released in France over the past five years, about a third (28) are available online. Prices below were correct at time of writing and
are in euros, with rental prices first and retail prices in brackets.

GENERAL NOTES
around 700 films a year are released in France – nearly 14 a week or two a day – which means that, even with some of the highest cinema-going figures in europe, France is a difficult market into
which to release a film without the obvious marketing hooks of a major star, some very high-end action or a director with an international reputation. the last-named is worth stressing, since
directors count for a great deal in the French cinema business, where the possessory credit – ‘un film de…’ – is more or less obligatory. this trilogy of recommendations is reflected in the list of
German films which have sold over 100,000 tickets in France over the past five years, putting them in the top third of box-office performers.
On the stars-and-action front, top marks have gone to the reSIdeNt eVIL franchise, tHe INterNatIONaL and tHe tHree MuSketeerS. German or German-produced auteurs recognised by
the French cinema-going public include Michael Haneke (daS WeISSe BaNd and aMOur), Wim Wenders (PINa), Fatih akin (SOuL kItCHeN), with Christian Petzold also finding a place on the
list with the 2012 release BarBara, which sold almost 300,000 tickets.
the only other category in which it has recently been possible for German films to make a mark at the French box office has been in the children’s sector, with der MONdMaNN, kONFereNZ
der tIere and films featuring Hexe Lilli and baby dinosaur umbel (known as Impy in both english and French) have performed well. Of the remaining 80 or so German films released in France
since 2008, dIe WeLLe is virtually alone in bagging a substantial audience without having a star, lots of action sequences, an esteemed director or a cute little animal to its name.
13
Given the close ties between French television and the French film industry (see above), television is a difficult market for non-French and non-Hollywood film to crack. as a result, German films
are more or less absent from the main free-to-air channels (with the exception of arte), and sparsely represented on the key pay-to-view ones. the French dVd market is, like that in most
developed countries, in decline, while VOd in all its forms is still responsible for less than 15% of the non-theatrical market. What is more, the VOd market is close to saturation, with 75 different
platforms on offer. the most likely outcome seems to be a polarisation which will mirror the theatrical market. a few major distributors are likely to account for most of the market – the top 18
theatrical distributors sold 90% of the tickets in 2012, leaving the remaining 138 companies, many of them distinctly boutique operations, to divide up the rest.
On the VOd market, establishing a name seems to have been the main priority, with those that are already recognisable – such as Canal+, Orange and itunes – having a clear advantage. Interestingly,
this seems more important than price competitiveness, suggesting that customers sign on for one or perhaps two platforms, rather than shop around for the one with the cheapest titles. It is
probably this combination of saturation and major player dominance that led uS VOd giant Netflix to conclude that the French VOd market was of little interest.
