More and more series in Paris Region

In 2019, no less than 34 French or foreign series benefited from our services, including the Israeli series The Attachée and the French series Platane, Paris 1900, la Garçonne and Nina.

Paris Region, the leading French region in terms of financial contribution to the audiovisual sector, is further improving its framework for action thanks to the successive reforms of the Cinema and Audiovisual Grant Fund of January 2017 and March 5, 2020:

  • Simplified access criteria based on spending in Paris Region and the number of days of filming
  • Grant scales have been significantly re-evaluated and the Fund's budget has been increased over the past 4 years (from €3M to €4.5M), thus allowing for more substantial grants of up to €500,000.
  • Series can apply for a bonus for innovative technologies, exceptional technical expenses or an ecological approach in order to promote real economic impact and make Paris Region a groundbreaking territory for certain cutting-edge technologies.
  • Minimum lengths per series episode lowered to 5 minutes for web series
  • More favorable conditions for co-productions in the European Union with reduced requirements for filming and spending in Paris Region
  • The opening of the new International Fund for Minority Co-productions to series.

Among the projects supported in 2020 and 2021: the new seasons of The Bureau and Call My Agent!, Paris Police 1900 and La Garçonne, two major costume detective series about the beginning of the 20th century, Le monde demain, about the youth of the group NTM, and En thérapie, an adaptation by Olivier Nakache and Eric Toledano of the successful Israeli series that has already been adapted in the United States.
