Région Sud - Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur

“With Cartoon Next, Marseille becomes the world capital of animation! The Sud Region is a land of opportunity for the industry, with two prestigious schools—MoPA in Arles and the École des Nouvelles Images in Avignon—as well as the SudAnim association, which brings together over 1,500 professionals. And with several award-winning films supported by the Region, including Flow, animation is making the South shine across the globe!” Renaud Muselier President of the Region Sud - Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur & Deputy President of Régions de France

The animation sector has significantly developed in the Region Sud - Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur in recent years, with a support fund in place since 2010. This fund provides grants for feature films, short films, specials, and television series at the writing, development, and production stages. With a budget of €1.4 million, the regional animation support fund has financed more than a hundred projects since its creation. These projects, produced in one of the 15 regional studios or in local companies mainly located in Avignon, Arles, and Marseille, have fostered the growth of a true animation hub in this attractive region, which is also home to several internationally renowned schools.
