Grants for audiovisual and TV production
In brief
An audiovisual or TV production company can fund its activity through the selective and automatic grants of the Centre National du Cinéma (CNC) and several Regions. This page lists the schemes currently validated for this trade, with their funder and maximum amount where known.
This sector covers audiovisual and television production companies, across all formats (fiction, documentary, animation, new media).
Most of the grants listed here are run by the Centre National du Cinéma (CNC), through selective and automatic mechanisms, supplemented by Regions.
If your project relates to a specific format (fiction, documentary, animation, video games), dedicated needs-based pages list grants more precisely targeted at that format.
This page helps you identify relevant funding leads. It does not, however, replace an individual check of your eligibility.
Run a personalised scan to identify the public grants and funding your company may be able to access.
What types of projects are covered?
The grants listed here cover the full activity of an audiovisual production company, from preparation through to production.
They overlap substantially with the funding needs by format (fiction, documentary, animation) already detailed elsewhere on the site.
What amount can be obtained?
The amount depends largely on the format and the targeted scheme; for details by format, see the corresponding needs-based pages.
How do you identify the funding suited to your production company?
The number of schemes listed makes a manual selection lengthy, and sometimes imprecise.
The Capital OS scan automatically cross-references these criteria with the full set of referenced public grants, to identify the ones that genuinely apply to you:
- The format of your production (fiction, documentary, animation, video game)
- Your location
- The phase of your project
