What we do

2018/11/202021/07/07 ARTE

Every programme with a cultural slant has a home on ARTE

About 56 % of the programmes are documentaries, 19 % feature films, drama and series, 14 % news-related programmes, while 5 % feature music and other performing arts. About two thirds of the programmes broadcast on ARTE are previously unreleased.

ARTE negotiates the rights to all of these programmes in order to offer an ever-richer range to users outside of France and Germany. If ARTE does not hold the international rights to the video that you would like to watch, the following message will appear: “This video is not available in your country”.

A multilingual offer for Europe

70 % of Europeans can watch ARTE in their mother tongue

With a digital programme offer in six languages, ARTE is reaching a growing audience across Europe. In addition to German and French, more than 1,700 programmes are also freely accessible in English, Spanish, Polish and Italian on arte.tv and via the apps for mobile devices and smart TV. European news, documentaries and arthouse cinema are made available in additional languages and in cooperation with partner media outlets across the continent. These initiatives benefit from European co-financing under “Creative Europe” and “Multimedia Actions”.
