Steve Solot is President of FR-RFC: “This ceremony gives us the chance to strengthen our organisations’ relationship within a wonderful context - Rio has the attention of the whole world now, thanks to events such as the forthcoming World Cup and the Olympic Games, a trend which now also holds true for the audiovisual sector.”

Also present at the partnership signing was Adrian Wootton, Chief Executive Officer of Film London. The organisation has its own agreements with FR-RFC and Ile de France.
