Photography and Video Production by Carl Thomson Photography
Lionsgate returned to the French Riviera for MIPCOM Cannes 2026 with a special presentation of The Interrogator, a new television crime drama starring acclaimed British actor Stephen Fry.
Carl Thomson Photography was commissioned to provide professional photography and a full video production team for the two-day programme, covering an exclusive screening and Q&A at the Palais des Festivals on 12 October, followed by a promotional party celebrating the new series on 13 October.
The events brought together international television executives, broadcasters and entertainment industry professionals during one of the most important weeks in the global television calendar.
Stephen Fry and The Interrogator — Exclusive Screening at MIPCOM Cannes
On Monday 12 October 2026, Lionsgate presented The Interrogator to an international audience at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes.
Produced by Lionsgate Television and Fox Entertainment Studios, the new crime drama stars Stephen Fry as Conrad Henry, a former MI6 agent whose exceptional intellect and unconventional investigative techniques help solve complex criminal cases.
The special presentation included a screening and Q&A, offering guests an introduction to the new production.
Carl Thomson photographed the occasion, documenting the presentation, the Q&A and the atmosphere surrounding the screening as Lionsgate introduced its latest series to the international television industry.
Carl Thomson Photography provided professional photography and video production coverage throughout the celebration, documenting the event with an editorial approach that combined natural, candid photography with carefully composed images of the venue, guests and entertainment.
The resulting photography captured both the scale of the occasion and the smaller details that made the celebration memorable.
Inside the Lionsgate Promotional Party at MIPCOM Cannes 2026
The following day, Tuesday 13 October, Lionsgate continued the celebrations with a promotional party dedicated to The Interrogator, bringing together industry professionals, international partners and guests for an evening on the French Riviera.
Away from the formal setting of the screening, the party provided an opportunity to celebrate the new series in a more relaxed and entertaining environment.
With live music, a vibrant atmosphere and guests enjoying the occasion, the event brought another dimension to Lionsgate's MIPCOM programme.
Carl Thomson Photography was on hand to capture the celebrations, from the live performances and Lionsgate branding to candid moments between guests, the atmosphere of the venue and the energy of the evening.
Photographing events of this nature involves more than simply recording who attended. The aim is to capture the character of the occasion, the interactions between guests and the details that bring the event together.
Throughout the evening, the photography focused on a natural, editorial style, documenting the celebrations as they unfolded while creating a collection of images suitable for the client's communications, publicity and marketing.
Alongside the photography, a dedicated video production team provided additional coverage, ensuring that the atmosphere, entertainment and key moments could also be captured on film.
The combination of photography and video provided Lionsgate with comprehensive visual coverage of its promotional celebrations during MIPCOM Cannes 2026.
