What Canal+ Told African Producers at NollywoodWeek 2026 About Its Post-MultiChoice Plans

A closed session at Canal+ headquarters in Paris on May 6, 2026, convened on the opening day of the NollywoodWeek Film Festival. The gathering brought together a room of industry professionals — largely Nigerian filmmakers, producers, and journalists, with Ghanaian and diaspora attendees. The Canal+ team was led by Cédric Pierre-Louis, Director of African Fiction Channels at Canal+ Distribution, and Clémentine Egasse, SVP of Thematic Channels at Canal+ International.

The session ran about an hour: a corporate video, a slide presentation on Canal+'s production and channel operations across Africa, a Q&A, and a pitch session.
