Pitch It!

Caroline Behar began her career in the television industry in 1995, joining what was then La Cinquieme in the channel's first year. Now known as France 5, it is one of three channels in the France Televisions group, along with France 2 and France 3.

Initially, Caroline was involved in setting up the International Association of Educational and Discovery Channels (AITED). She then took part in creating another new association whose aim was to promote the channel through a programme of interactive events held across France.

In 1997, Caroline's love of travel and determination to explore the world led her to join France 5's Department of Acquisitions and International Co-productions, headed by Ann Julienne. This work takes her to international programme markets and festivals in search of the best documentary films and projects dealing with her preferred subjects: people, places and cultures from across the world, wildlife and the environment, science and technology. In recent years Caroline has developed numerous co-productions with international partners from around the world. She is currently setting up long-term collaboration with "new markets", in Spain, Latin America, India.
