France Télévisions' cultural division is seeing a moment of change. Former Canal+ presenter Michel Field was named by Delphine Ernotte as the broadcaster's new cultural programming controller, but its first move has been controversial: after being renewed for the ongoing season, the Sunday arts magazine Passage des Arts, presented by TF1's former weekend newsreader Claire Chazal, has been cancelled after airing its final show of 2022, resulting on a protest by Chazal herself on Télérama. It was followed by another made by 163 big name personalities in the sector, which was published on yesterday's Journal du Dimanche. The final show will air this weekend.
The show will be replaced by a new weekly magazine, Beau geste, which will feature Canal+ legend and C à vous chroniqueur Pierre Lescure. The show will only focus on cinema, and is part of FTV's coverage of the Cannes Film Festival, with the show serving as a thematic show in the run-up to the event. The show, which is being outsourced to Black Dynamite Productions, a well-regarded independent producer of non-fiction content owned by C à vous producer Mediawan, will mix documentary-style elements with heavy cues of Pierre Tchernia's legendary programme Monsieur Cinéma (which mixed cinema news and reviews with a game show related to the industry) and Lescure's experience in the entertainment and cinema industry, including his stint as Cannes Film Festival president.
Additionally, Michel Field plans to boost the prominence of its genre-specific culture programmes (e.g. La Grande Librairie, Basique, Taratata, live entertainment evenings), and increase the number of original productions airing on Culturebox (one of two core strands on France 4/LCN 14).
