The National Center for Cinema and the Moving Image (CNC), established in 1946, plays a vital role in the production of numerous French films. Its funding is essential for the industry’s sustainability.

Currently, the CNC is under attack from the far-right political group Rassemblement National, raising alarms about the future of film funding in France. This opposition could lead to significant changes in how cinema is financed.

As the CNC faces these threats, the implications for French cinema could be profound, potentially jeopardizing the creation of many films that rely on its support.
