COLCOA TELEVISION
In addition to the selection dedicated to French cinema, the festival introduced in 2015 a competition of French films made for television, which included dramas, mini-series and series.
Films for television have become an important part of the French production and, as such, an increasing number is acquired for the U.S. market or developed and co-produced between both countries. Theatrical features will remain the predominant part of the program, yet the inclusion of special fare for TV is a logical addition for a competitive arena in Hollywood. This “mini French (film) revolution”, is also a festival premiere throughout Los Angeles and arguably in the U.S.
The COLCOA TELEVISION selection (7 films and series) was announced the same day as the COLCOA CINEMA competition on April 1st, 2015. Both programs took place at the Directors Guild of America, from April 20 to April 28. As in the feature film category, the audience voted for the COLCOA BEST TELEVISION PROGRAM AWARDS:
