CNC / Mehrak Habibi France’s National Film Board, the CNC, marked its 80th anniversary with a three-day gathering of industry leaders in Paris, including Cannes Film Festival chief Thierry Frémaux who praised the country’s unique film funding system. CNC president Gaëtan Bruel, meanwhile, warned against attempts to dismantle a model that has helped make France a global cinema powerhouse.
The anniversary celebrations, held from Oct. 26-28 at the Cinémathèque française, came at a particularly fraught moment for the institution which faces growing political scrutiny and budgetary pressures as France heads toward the 2027 presidential election.
