“Animation is not only an art in which French creators have always excelled, but it is also one of the industrial jewels of our country. Today, the sector, both in France and Europe, faces structural choices, and it is up to us to make the right ones. The international context offers us the opportunity to forge new alliances, and European animation is meant to be at the heart of this new dynamic. Let’s be ambitious and emerge from this period stronger than ever. I wish you an inspiring and fruitful Cartoon Forum !” Gaëtan Bruel • 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.
