Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos will sit down for an In Conversation session on May 15 within the NEXT program that’s dedicated to the future of cinema. This is Sarandos’ first official appearance at the market where he will address new distribution models and how they impact the financing and production of films. In a crossover, Cannes Film Festival chief Thierry Frémaux will introduce him at the Palais. Netflix has been growing increasingly aggressive in the film space and is expected to be active on the Riviera. After launching into several new markets last year, the streaming company has over 62M members in over 50 countries. Expansion plans are eyed into 200 countries within the next two years.
