Monte-Carlo TV Festival returns for its 65th edition
By Zak Jackson, MonacoViews Editorial
The Monte-Carlo Television Festival opens on Friday 12 June for five days, bringing a strong guest list and new programmes to the Principality.
The 65th Monte-Carlo Television Festival gets under way on Friday 12 June, running through to Tuesday 16 June at the Grimaldi Forum. One of the longest-running events in the international television calendar, this year's edition draws notable names including Kristin Scott Thomas, Kurt Russell and Michel Drucker among its confirmed guests.
The festival combines competitive screenings, industry panels and public events, giving Monaco residents and visitors direct access to talent rarely seen outside major film markets. For five days, the Grimaldi Forum becomes a focal point for television professionals and audiences alike, with award ceremonies scheduled across the run.
Now in its seventh decade, the event is organised under the High Patronage of Prince Albert II and remains one of the few televison festivals of its scale to retain a genuine public-facing programme alongside its industry strand.
