The buyout of Président Films is a unique opportunity for France Télévisions Distribution to significantly broaden its current line-up and to increase its development on international markets.

The Président Films company was founded back in 1970 by Jacques Eric Strauss who established over the years durable relationship with top ranking production companies. This activity is now known as France Télévisions Distribution Cinema (FTDc) and managed by Claudia Rae Colombani. FTD Cinema remains a regular business partner of top production companies.

FTD Cinema’s strength now comes from its belonging to the France Télévisions group which widely invest into film production agreements. FTD participate by offering advances for international sales (cinema and tv rights) and for publishing Video tapes, DVD and music.
