The Canal group, the main financier of French films, is threatening to end its current obligations. Canal + wants, in particular, to be able to broadcast films only three to four months after their theatrical release, against eight months today. According to a CNC study, out of the 100 best audiences for fiction, 95 go to French works. Anne Sinclair is very present these days in the media, a week before the release of her memoir "Pasté COMPOSITE", at Grasset. France Télévisions files a complaint after the assault of two of its journalists, in Martinique. Arte broadcasts "A Family Affair", awarded the Palme d'Or at Cannes three years ago. A Japanese film by Hirokazu Kore-eda that tells the story of a poor family in Tokyo, who steals to survive. Right after this movie,Arte offers a documentary that allows us to better understand it, also to better understand why the film displeased the Japanese authorities.

On the front page, the ultimatum launched by Canal + to French cinema.

The Canal group, the main financier of French films, is threatening to end its current obligations. It finances 20% of the annual budget of French productions and supports a little more than half of the feature films produced each year. It is Maxime Saada, the president of Canal +, who lets it be understood this morning, in an interview with “Figaro”. He wants his group's demands to be heard, in the context of negotiations which are due to be concluded on July 1. Canal + wants, in particular, to be able to broadcast films only three to four months after their theatrical release, against eight months today. A halving justified by the fact that platforms (such as Netflix) could also broadcast films, one year after their theatrical release.Platforms which will now also finance French cinema, at a lower level than Canal +, which explains the difference between the broadcasting times.

Results for French fiction, on television, last year.

Unpublished results for 15 years, according to a study by the CNC (the national cinema center) which also deals with television.

Of the 100 best audiences for fictions (series and TV films), 95 go to French works.

French works which are more and more present on the channels, to the detriment of American fictions, down again last year by 8%.

A drop of 40% over 10 years.

Also in the news, the media campaign of Anne Sinclair.

The journalist is very present these days in the media, a week before the release of her memoir “Pasté Composite”, at Grasset.

She tells about her life, her childhood, her love of journalism, her career launched on Europe 1, her interviews on TF1 in front of 12 million viewers.

It is also an opportunity for her to come back, 10 years after the events, to the Sofitel affair.

She devotes a chapter to it.

An episode on which she returns in “Paris-Match”, this week.

Sophie des Déserts met her for the magazine.

Anne Sinclair on the front page of “Paris Match”, which like Europe1, belongs to the Lagardère group.

Match available today in Ile-de-France, and tomorrow in other regions.

France Télévisions files a complaint after the assault of two of its journalists, in Martinique.

An assault that the public group condemned in a press release on Tuesday, nearly three days after the fact.

Saturday evening, two reporters from Martinique the first were taken to task during a demonstration to commemorate the abolition of slavery on the island.

Their equipment was stolen.

This is not the first time that the channel has been targeted ... Last March, demonstrators set one of its vehicles on fire.

In metropolitan France, a journalist was released by the Annecy police court.

Relaxe under freedom of information.

The local H2O radio reporter was prosecuted for going on the tarmac at the city's airport last September.

He had climbed the perimeter fence to continue to follow a demonstration by environmental activists.

The focus of the day is cinema night on Arte tonight. 

The channel broadcasts "A Family Affair", awarded the Palme d'Or at Cannes three years ago. A Japanese film by Hirokazu Kore-eda that tells the story of a poor family in Tokyo, who steals to survive. One evening, she takes in a little girl left alone on a balcony, in the cold. A girl who will be integrated into the family, despite the poverty. Immediately after this film, Arte offers a documentary that allows us to better understand it, also to better understand why the film displeased the Japanese authorities. Emmanuel Hamon, who is also a film director, was also interested in this documentary in the secrets of the making of the film. Secrets he asked some of the actors, some technicians and the filmmaker himself. Exciting decryption of certain scenes from the film,which will inevitably have marked you if you saw it. If this is not yet the case, “a family affair” is therefore happening this evening at 9 p.m. on Arte, Emmanuel Hamon's documentary, in the wake at 10.55 p.m. or you can already see it online, on Arte .TV

In Japan, again, one of the main dailies calls for the cancellation of the Olympics. 

Only two months from the start of the competition.

The Asahi (nearly 12,000,000 copies every day) calls on the Prime Minister to cancel the Games.

A call all the stronger since the newspaper is also an official partner of the Games.

He says so in an editorial today.

He calls the sporting event a threat to health - as Japan is currently experiencing a 4th wave of the epidemic.
