France's National Film Board, the CNC, is intensifying its Asia strategy as the region emerges as a dynamic driver in the global entertainment landscape. CNC president Gaetan Bruel shared the plan with Variety during the Taiwan Creative Content Fest in Taipei, where France arrived with its second-largest delegation of 80 professionals after Korea. The move signals a robust commitment to Asian co-production, financing, and distribution across film, animation, and new media. Bruel described an ambitious roadmap to deepen collaboration with Asian partners, expanding access to French talent, technology, and capital while opening French markets to Asian content and partners. Central to the strategy are enhanced co-production pipelines, streamlined funding and distribution support, and closer ties with studios, broadcasters, and streaming platforms across Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, and the broader Asia-Pacific region. The CNC's Asia push mirrors a wider industry shift, with Asian studios and creators driving innovation in storytelling and immersive formats. By fostering international partnerships, the CNC aims to boost French cinema, series, and animation on the world stage, attract investment, and help French creators scale in fast-growing Asian markets. The Taiwan Creative Content Fest is positioned as a strategic hub for these collaborations, with the CNC highlighting funding programs, co-production treaties, and professional training initiatives that support sustainable, long-term Franco-Asian partnerships.
