“Thanks to the creativity of French artists and the talent of the producers, thanks to the virtuous financing system that supports them and the strong backing of the public authorities, thanks to training courses and studios of excellence that have been further consolidated by the France 2030 plan, and to flagship events like Cartoon Forum that we are proud to support, French audiovisual animation is revealing a vitality and richness that have been hailed and sought after internationally. We wish you all a wonderful edition!” Olivier Henrard • Interim President of the CNC
The CNC - Centre national du cinéma et de l'image animée - participates in the development of the animation industry through several support systems. These aim to:
- reinforce French creativity by providing support for scriptwriting and development for audiovisual and film projects;
- support French animation producers through selective and automatic funding systems for TV series, short films and features;
- contribute to the promotion of French animation in the international market through promotion and distribution fund systems.
