Film & Audiovisual

Production, distribution, operation & technical industries

A dynamic and powerful industry. Cinema and audiovisual media appeal to audiences in France and around the world. Even though cinema audiences dropped due to the Covid-19 crisis, and the public moved towards VOD and SVOD platforms, France remains a major player in film and audiovisual creation. Films, TV series, documentaries ... content has become king.
