“We’re very proud to host Europe’s biggest event dedicated to animated series every year. Toulouse loves the cinema and supports this cultural and creative industry with internationally recognised training courses, a film shooting office and a 5,000 m² Campus in the heart of the Grand Matabiau district, dedicated to digital innovation. With almost 22,000 jobs to date, our aim is to further boost the energies of this flourishing sector by creating over 2,000 additional jobs by 2026.” Jean-Luc Moudenc • Mayor of Toulouse - President of Toulouse Metropole
Toulouse, Capital of Music and Science
The pink city boasts many strengths: as the capital of the Occitanie region, the 4th largest student city in France, the world capital of aeronautics, the European capital of space, and a City of Art and History.
It is also renowned for its vibrancy, particularly in the music world. In October 2023, Toulouse was designated a UNESCO City of Music.
Recognised as a major centre for the development of creative industries, particularly in the audiovisual sector, Toulouse is home to France's second-largest Cinémathèque and hosts around thirty film festivals every year.
Last but not least, Toulouse is a unique city with a rich cultural life, marked by a rare density and diversity. From 25 to 27 October, the streets of Toulouse will once again play host to "Le Gardien du Temple, Opus II: La Porte des Ténèbres".
