For better or for worse, no holds are barred for these three couples. Marion and Cédric Liliane and José Huguette and Raymond As Marion and Cédric begin their life together, they discover each others’ habits and foibles. Their honeymoon period lasts despite the crises that they face, which are often resolved between the sheets. Jealousy, friends, family and work are a major part of their home life together. After their son Manu leaves home, Liliane and José reinvent married life on a day-to-day basis. In an attempt to inject a bit of life into their couple and counteract José’s steadfast determination to stay set in his old ways, Liliane puts her vivid imagination to good use, with the occasional success. For this couple, affection and hysteria are frequent bedfellows. Every day, Huguette and Raymond hide their love behind a wall of spite. It’s how they do things. ‘No tomorrow’ could be their motto, and if anything brings them closer together than anything else, it’s conflict. Misanthropy, cynicism and sarcasm form their daily diet. 11 MON T E - CARLO T V X CHANGES Creative Opportunities for Fiction in 3D The project “Creative Opportunities for Fiction in 3D” has the objective to provide the European creative community of the audiovisual sector with the keys to understand its market and face the technological and human challenges that Stereoscopic 3D (S-3D) represents.

The Monaco Red Cross undertakes to confine screenings of the awardwinning programme to its members or to non-paying audiences with the aim of promoting the fundamental ideals of the Red Cross. Prize of the «International Committee of the Red Cross» This prize, launched in 2003 to mark the 140th anniversary of the creation of the International Committee of the Red Cross, will be awarded to a news programme which promotes the principles of international humanitarian law by covering a conflict in terms of its main consequence: the victims. The ICRC considers that the attitude of the public towards the victims of armed conflicts should be characterized not just by compassion or indignation, but also by shared responsibility. AMADE Prize awarded under the patronage of UNESCO The World Association of Friends of Children. The aim of this Prize is to reward a television film or a news programme which echoes the ideals of UNESCO and AMADE and which deals with an issue of human relationships whose plot and treatment neither feature violence nor inscite it. SIGNIS Prize The World Catholic Association for Communication, SIGNIS, gives an award either to the best television film or to the best news programme. This SIGNIS prize will honour a production, which reflects the goals of the association, more specifically the support for quality television production that highlights human and spiritual values. The International URTI Grand Prix for Author’s Documentaries The INTERNATIONAL GRAND PRIX FOR DOCUMENTARIES has been organised and held every year since 1981 by the Université Radiophonique et télévisuelle internationale (URTI). It seeks to reward outstanding documentaries, which combine fascinating topics with a high level of technical expertise. The documentaries may present subjects which are either social or cultural. The competition’s main objective is to celebrate the finest contributions from documentary directors from around the world. The Grand Prix takes place every June in the context of the prestigious Monte-Carlo TV Festival, organised by the Principality, which is ideally suited to showcase the event. The winner of the competition is presented with the ARMAN trophy, designed by the renowned sculptor. The directors who place second and third receive, respectively, a silver and a bronze medal. This year the award ceremony takes place on Tuesday 7th June, at 7:00 pm in the Salle Belle Époque of the Hôtel Hermitage (Monte-Carlo). The results of the competition will be announced after a discussion with the President of the Jury. 29 PartNERS The Organising Committee of the 51st Monte-Carlo Television Festival would like to thank for their invaluable contribution the following companies: Coiffeur et Maquilleur Officiel © www.isopress.fr Avec le soutien de
