THE LIBRARIANS
By Electric Entertainment
By invitation
The Librarians centers on an ancient organization hidden beneath the Metropolitan Public
Library that is dedicated to protecting an unknowing world from the secret, magical reality
hidden all around. Librarian Flynn Carsen (Noah Wyle)
and his guardian Eve Baird (Rebecca Romijn) lead an
interesting group of characters in solving impossible
mysteries, fighting supernatural threats and recovering
powerful artifacts from around the world. Only a person
with special skills could be responsible for collecting and
protecting these artifacts, and more importantly, for
preventing them from falling into the wrong hands.

MEDIA MASTERMIND KEYNOTE INTERVIEW
JAMES MURDOCH, CO-CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER,
21ST CENTURY FOX
Interviewed by DAVID ROWAN, Editor-in-chief, WIRED Magazine
James Murdoch works across 21st Century Fox’s global portfolio of businesses and has direct
responsibility for the group’s television interests, which include the Fox Networks Group in the
United States and, internationally, the Company’s holdings in BSkyB, Sky Deutschland, Sky Italia

James Murdoch represents one of the world’s global original content powerhouses. 21st Century
Fox has dared to challenge convention, reshaping the industry and developing businesses that
are large employers of creative talent. Their commitment to international television production
coupled with their interests in pan-European pay-TV makes this a unique opportunity to hear
about the group’s plans from a recognised leader in the television industry. At a time when the
quest for powerful original content has never been so relevant, MIPCOM 2014 is delighted to

SCREENINGS
“WITNESSES” [“LES TEMOINS”]
By Newen Distribution
A model home. Unburied bodies found inside. Amongst the corpses,
a picture of Paul Maisonneuve is discovered. Paul Maisonneuve: an
ex-cop unlike any other, a Crime Squad “legend” in the north of
France, who must now get back to work to solve the mystery. Who
put the corpses in the model home? And why leave a photo of Paul
Maisonneuve there?
Paul Maisonneuve and Sandra Winckler, a young police detective,
investigate. Two cops whose lives are about to change forever. An
investigation during which they’ll have to explore a seaside town
and its surroundings.
The truth lies somewhere in Paul Maisonneuve’s past. A past and an
enigma embodied by Kaz Gorbier, Paul’s sworn enemy. Kaz Gorbier: a man he had already
arrested a number of years before. A man who was supposed to have died a few months
earlier in a prison fire. But a man who is very much alive and out to settle scores.
6x52’. Written by Hervé Hadmar & Marc Herpoux. Directed by Hervé Hadmar. Produced by
Cinétévé. Commissioned by France 2.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Hervé Hadmar, Director and Cinétévé CEO
Fabienne Servan-Schreiber.

DIGITAL DISTRIBUTION: THE QUEST FOR THE AUDIENCE
WHAT DO WE WANT? CONTENT! WHEN DO WE WANT IT? ALWAYS!
The stakes are high: People want content anytime, anywhere, on any device. But how can
you accommodate their demands while protecting your rights? How do you sell your shows
across broadcast, VOD, apps and other destinations? How do you manage catch-up and
other windows to best exploit your library and still meet the fans’ needs? And how do you
promote to audiences before, during and after your “TV everywhere” deals. Find out here.

THE USER INTERFACE CHALLENGE
Remember the old days, when you missed an episode of your favourite show... and never
caught it again? It sounds like an archaic problem now, but it's not really gone: Search and
recommendation is a huge issue in online content viewing, and it's the difference between
success and failure for services like Chromecast, Netflix and Hulu. If you want your
distribution done right, don't put the interface second!
