Harvey Weinstein is to deliver the keynote address at the Mipcom market in Cannes next month.
The co-chairman of The Weinstein Company (TWC), who previously founded Miramax Films with his brother Bob, will give his speech at the event in Cannes on 8 October.
It follows the launch of TWC’s international television sales division. Their most notable series to date includes reality series Project Runway and Mob Wives, and comedy drama The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency, made in partnership with the BBC for HBO.
