The concept

No tourists or spectators: explorers are witnesses and cameras of Festival TV, all over the world. Following the pattern of the field witness networks, they bring back in real time what lives at the heart of the festivals — the atmosphere, sounds, faces — where the big cameras do not always go. When a festival beats somewhere in the world, there are Festival Explorer eyes to tell it.

The concept: wherever a festival beats, a volunteer explorer is on the ground — he filmes, tells, interviews and shares the atmosphere in real time. Moïse 1er , chief explorer, connects this network: from Dakar to Quebec City, from Rio to Kyoto, explorers are the eyes and ears of Festival TV . Register below, then exchange in the space of explorers.

And that's not all: "Festival Explorer , it's also tourist discoveries."Each festival becomes the gateway to a destination — the city, the region, the heritage and the experiences to live around the festival (see the section Tourist Discoveries, below).

How can Festival TV be present at festivals around the world, the same weekend? Thanks to its certified explorers: enthusiasts trained by the platform, present on the ground all over the world. Here is the explorer's journey, from registration to the air.
