France and Germany showed great foresight on 2 October, 1990 by signing a trans-national agreement and laying the foundation for a European cultural TV channel. Today, ARTE is the outstanding cultural brand in the television and media landscape. For many young European film-makers, ARTE has been the first port of call for their projects and a springboard to success. The channel is a platform and workshop for European culture, offering intelligent and appealing television to inquisitive and cosmopolitan citizens. In this global age, ARTE is also a gateway to different cultures, social systems, and worldviews. Europe, at its best, has always been influenced by ideas and inventions from around the world. Providing access to a variety of world cultures is a key commitment for the channel. The audiovisual landscape has changed significantly since ARTE was founded. The amazing success of the Internet has revolutionised viewers’ habits, especially among the young. The digital revolution constantly offers new user features and is transforming the once passive viewer into an active participant. For this reason, ARTE has placed the Internet and new media development at the heart of its strategies from the beginning. New ground was broken, for example, with the ARTE+7 television on demand service. In the coming months, a creative platform will be launched in conjunction with European film schools. Partnerships with YouTube and Facebook are also in the pipeline. But even in this rapidly evolving digital age, innovations in conventional television retain their intrinsic value. This is why ARTE has embraced HDTV from its inception and is currently in the process of completely converting its broadcasting operations to HDTV. ARTE remains a major platform for film-makers and creative minds from all over Europe. For our viewers, ARTE continues to astonish. © X Filme Creative Zap around the World – In Afghanistan © ARTE France The Wayward Cloud, by Tsai Ming-Liang © ARTE France The Yes Men fix the World, by Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno © Arte France Les Voies de l’Est – In Bangladesh, by Rob Hof © Arte France s e m m Progra by Vanessa Jopp Pool Dr. Christoph Hauser © ARTE/Fréderic Maigrot Messy Christmas, A STRONG LINE-UP FOR DISCERNING VIEWERS ARTE is based on quality and innovation. In an age when the latest technological developments and increasing competition are leading to fundamental changes across the media landscape, our viewers appreciate that we keep our editorial promises and continue to offer highquality programming. In Germany, ARTE is successfully attracting and retaining an ever greater number of viewers, particularly with its daytime and prime time schedules. In France too, ARTE’s share of the DVB-T market is continually increasing, although the launch of new channels has had a serious impact on the French television landscape. ARTE is reacting to the dynamic changes occurring within the media environment in both countries by introducing a new approach to its programme line-up that will give a particular boost to the prime time and late evening slots. Since its launch, ARTE has provided its viewers with the stories behind world affairs as well as explaining their significance. Innovations to news reporting are also being introduced, with ARTE Journal, The Blogger and Yourope outlining current events from a European and international perspective. ARTE is producing more science-based documentaries and magazine programmes for peak viewing hours. ARTE is also approaching its goal of reaching a younger target audience with a new style for culture and music programmes that features the stars of yesterday and tomorrow. In 2010, ARTE will continue to plan programmes from an event-oriented perspective. Some highlights of this year’s programmes include: Frédéric Chopin’s 200th anniversary, the outstanding works of the Japanese cartoonist Hayao Miyazaki, biodiversity, and of course Africa, site of this year’s Football World Cup, and a summer of music from the sixties, to name merely a few. Join us for these programmes and more on ARTE, and it’s even more amazing in HD! Dr. Christoph Hauser Programme Director Annie-Claude Elkaim © Frédéric Maigrot Thomas Kausch © Frédéric Maigrot THEManAd Discovering understanding the world 08-09 While entertaining the family on Sunday and tackling social and political issues on Tuesday, ARTE’s theme evenings feature a set of films, documentaries and discussions devoted to a single topic.

ARTE, FROM SILENT FILM TO B MOVIES… ARTE strives to encourage film-makers and offers a platform for young talent on Short Circuit, the film magazine that gets behind the scenes of moviemaking. Trash provokes and amuses viewers with what might be called B movies. Emphasis is placed on rather extravagant films that offended good taste and moral sensibilities when first released but later came to be seen as pioneering works of world cinema. Medium Length Films presents the first works, often highly individual, of young directors past and present. ARTE also remains faithful to the classics, with a monthly Silent Movie session.

News and special reports, dramas and documentaries are available for online listening or as podcasts. ARTE AND SOCIAL NETWORKS ARTE keeps a high profile both on the web and on social networks such as Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, MySpace, and StudiVZ. ARTE initiates discussions and networking groups and keeps users, especially the youth audience, up to date on programmes and events. THE CREATIVE PLATFORM The concept of the creative platform is to provide an inspirational environment for interested users as well as a place for discussion and exchange of ideas in an editorially managed context where both young creative talents and acknowledged experts in their fields can join in producing audiovisual content. FOR INDUSTRY USERS… On www.artepro.com, audiovisual and media professionals will find ARTE magazine, press kits and releases, stills from programmes, a directory of producers and distributors, an audiovisual rights catalogue and also details on how to submit projects. L’Apocalypse, by Jérôme Prieur and Gérard Mordillat/AR TE France © Arch ipel 33/François Catonné The book catalogue now has almost a hundred titles, including such bestselling successes as the book If Maps Could Talk (Atlas du Dessous des cartes) series, based on the programme with JeanChristophe Victor, a book version of The World According to Monsanto (Le monde selon Monsanto) by Marie-Monique Robin and the graphic novel Waltz with Bachir, inspired by Ari Folman’s first animated documentary feature. In DVD and Blu Ray, ARTE Editions has won over audiences with box sets of The War by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick and Architectures by Richard Copans and Stan Neumann. Performing arts are also a strong point, with titles such as Louise Bourgeois, Ariane Mnouchkine – The Adventure of the Théâtre du Soleil and Peter and the Wolf, the musical fable by Sergei Prokofiev. All ARTE publications are available at www.arteboutique.com. 34-35 Europas Erbe - Die großen Dramatiker, by Matthias Schmidt/ZDF © MME/Stefan Schmitz Art, history, society, literature, philosophy, or social investigation… the range and depth of ARTE programming has expanded into other media through ARTE Editions, a joint label for both DVD and book publishing since 2008. An ambitious editorial policy ensures a wide variety of subjects and styles, providing food for thought and material for debate. True to the channel’s spirit of openness, ARTE Editions engages primarily in joint ventures, seeking proactive partnerships to bring works into publication and ensure their ongoing sales and distribution. In the ten years of its existence, the publishing arm has become a preferred partner in the industry, initiating original projects that reflect the commitment and enthusiasm of ARTE, as well as its high standards and spirit of enquiry. 36-37 ARTE Rock in the City, October 200 8 © Frédéric Maig rot TRADE FAIRS AND FESTIVALS There is a high level of awareness in the media of ARTE’s exacting standards as a quality cultural network open to the world, and so the channel’s programming and top features attract extensive press coverage in France, Germany and throughout Europe. The full range of TV magazine programmes, daily press, radio and new media thus represent a major public relations vehicle for ARTE, to which the channel attaches enormous importance. The press offices in Paris, Strasbourg and Baden Baden co-ordinate ARTE’s public relations efforts, organising numerous initiatives across Europe that provide an opportunity for liaison and exchange of ideas with journalists and industry professionals. A much sought after producer, ARTE maintains a high profile at all the important festivals in Germany, France and other European countries. Meetings are held with journalists and film-makers at the Berlin and Cannes Film Festivals, two major cinematic events, but ARTE’s efforts do not stop there. The channel also participates in the most important television trade fairs such as FIPA, MIPTV, MIPCOM, MIDEM and Media Forum NRW and ARTE is present and highly regarded at the Paris, Frankfurt and Leipzig book fairs. ARTE stand, Frankfurt Book Fair © ARTE Deutschland N O I T A C I N U M COM AND EVENTS PRESS AND PUBLIC RELATIONS PROMOTION AND MARKETING ARTE supports its special programming and flagship titles – especially new programmes and live coverage of the Cannes and Berlin film festivals – with energetic and original publicity. The channel’s marketing teams in France and Germany design and run major promotional campaigns in print media and on the radio. CULTURAL INITIATIVES ARTE plays an active role in the cultural life of France, Germany and Europe as a whole, providing creative space for artists and encouraging contact with the public. ARTE France has set up a special commission for its cultural initiatives, which has led to numerous events in France and Europe, in particular the Temps d’images Festival of the performing and moving image arts. In Germany, ARTE Deutschland co-operates with several major cultural institutions, including the “Houses of Literature” (Literaturhäuser), and Franco-German events such as the Perspectives theatre festival. l e n n a The ch trol, ARTE GEIE © Shooting © Michel Nicolas Shooting © Benoit Linder/French Co Shooting © Benoit Linder/French Co Digital Master Con Frédéric Maigrot ARTE is a European cultural public service channel. Subdivided into three main companies: ARTE France, ARTE Deutschland, and ARTE GEIE, the group employs staff from France, Germany and other European countries. In both France and Germany, 95% of funding for the channel comes from the direct tax on home television sets. The network is not allowed to show advertising, but may seek additional revenue from other sources, in particular, corporate patronage. With its Europe-wide reach, ARTE has also developed a range of successful partnerships for co-production and exchange of programmes with the major European public service broadcasters. The ARTE Group is made up of three separate bodies: the Strasbourg based European Economic Interest Grouping ARTE GEIE, plus two member companies acting as editorial and programme production centres, ARTE France in Paris and ARTE Deutschland in Baden Baden. These two companies currently provide three-quarters of ARTE’s programming in equal proportion, the remainder being provided by ARTE GEIE and the channel’s European partners. The members are responsible for submitting programme proposals, which have to be approved by the Programme Committee and are subsequently broadcast from Strasbourg. They jointly finance and control headquarters operations in Strasbourg, while also representing the interests of French and German partners before ARTE GEIE’s decision-making bodies.

It is composed of two equal members: ARTE Deutschland TV GmbH and ARTE France. Article 2 of the contract establishing ARTE GEIE defines its role: “The purpose of this grouping is to conceive and produce television programmes which, in a broad sense, are cultural and international in character and conducive to promoting understanding and rapport between Europe’s nations and to broadcast these programmes or to authorise their broadcast.” ARTE GEIE in Stra sbourg © Patrick The Strasbourg headquarters is in charge of programme strategy, commissioning policy and scheduling. It is responsible for broadcasting and on-air promotion and provides the language services required for multilingual transmission. It also produces news, magazine programmes and some of the theme evenings.

Governed by European and not national law, its flexible legal structure enables its members to group part of their activities while retaining their legal and economic independence. The Management Board directs the channel’s operations and reports regularly to the General Assembly. It has four members: the Chairman, the Vice Chairman, the Director of Programmes, and the Administrative Director. Each is appointed for a fouryear term of office. Representatives of ARTE France and ARTE Deutschland may be invited to attend extended meetings of the Management Board.

The average staff age is forty-two, with around nine years of service. In an enterprise with dual nationality like ARTE, the need to establish a common corporate culture and identity that all staff can identify with is a major challenge faced daily, in all of its activities. Good communication between, and co-ordination of, the channel’s three operational centres are critical elements in this process. An internal forum and a staff exchange programme enable everyone involved to experience the varied skills and know-how that go into making the channel successful while also providing a space for inter-personnel dialogue within the company. ARTE GEIE is a financially independent, self-governing entity. In addition to management controls exercised by two controllers from ARTE France and ARTE Deutschland appointed by the General Assembly – currently Fabrice Rebois and Dr. Klaus Wenger – and the financial controls provided by the auditors, an external control function has been created to check on the implementation of resolutions adopted by the General Assembly, compliance with current legislative requirements, and the effective use of funds.
