The special conference is aimed at exploring the territory’s creative,
technical and financial resources and looking at potential co-production
opportunities.
10 Russian companies will take take seven stands during the market
to exhibit their new products and services. During the MIPTV 2003
market, Russia and the ex-USSR will be represented by major Television
channels, TV networks, leading production and distribution companies
and a substantial number of participants from the Ukraine.
Amongst the Russian companies who will take up the stands are five
new entrants. Experts say that the encouraging response is indication
of the Russian television industry's revival.
The Russian television scene has been completely transformed since
the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. According to an official
release, there are total of 140 million Russian viewers and 98 per
cent of households own a TV set. It therefore seems like there will
be several opportunities in terms of programming content, international
partnerships and cultural exchanges during the MIPTV market. All
these will be high on the agenda during MIPTV for this territory.
During the MIPTV, Mosfilm Cinema Concern will feature along with
the first private broadcaster - NTV, Family Screen Company, Moscow
based Malaya Asia Co, Russian pubcaster TV Channel Russia (RTR)
and Rospo Film- company.
There will be an umbrella stand representing 31 Meridian Studio,
7 TV and Svarog Film during the MIPTV.
During the meet, speakers will discuss movies and series, showcase
post-communist documentaries, sports programming and comedy shows.
