Support for the Creation and Production of Audiovisual Fiction Works
The regional fund supports audiovisual fiction projects, from writing to production. The official page describes several strands with different amounts depending on the nature of the project. The application must be prepared according to the stage of development, rights held, regional link and financing plan.

The scheme targets works with a cultural or geographical link to Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur and significant production in the region. Amounts vary by strand; the timetable and guidance notes must be checked before applying.
