New Cnc figures confirm 2014 was a tough year for the French film production sector.
Investment in French film production fell by 20% in 2104 to hit a 13-year low, according to new figures released by France’s National Cinema Centre (Cnc).
According to the Cnc’s annual production report released on Tuesday (Mar 24), the body approved 258 films in 2014, 12 less than 2013.
Within this figure, 203 were films-of French-initiative and 55 were majority foreign co-productions.
Nearly all French productions need to seek Cnc approval in order to tap into selective and automatic funding supports so the resulting data is a good indication of what is going on in France’s film production sector.
The new figures revealed that investment in “films-of French-initiative” dropped by 21.7% to €799m ($876m), against €1.02bn ($1.2bn) in 2013.
Overall investment, including co-productions, fell by 20.2% to €994m ($1bn), against €1.2bn ($1.3bn) in 2013.
Breaking these the latest figures down, the Cnc said French investment fell by 19.2% to €753.2m ($825m).
