Grants for feature film fiction production
In brief
A film fiction production company can fund its activity through the selective and automatic grants of the Centre National du Cinéma (CNC), regional grants, and film tax credits. This page lists the schemes currently validated for this trade, with their funder and maximum amount where known.
This sector covers production companies specializing in film fiction, both feature-length and short films.
The grants listed here overlap substantially with those on the needs-based page "funding a film or audiovisual production", which details all phases (writing, production, tax credits).
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 projects are covered?
The grants listed here fund the preparation, production, and distribution of a film fiction work.
See the dedicated needs-based page for details on CNC mechanisms (selective grant, automatic fund) and tax credits.
What amount can be obtained?
Details of amounts by project phase are given on the needs-based page "funding a film or audiovisual production".
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:
- Your location
- The phase of your project
- The intended format (feature-length, short film)
