All these full-length films co-produced by France have benefited from the Aide aux cinémas du monde (ACM) fund, a selective support system (for the production of films before they’re made, or for the completion of films in post-production) initiated in 2012 and steered by the CNC and the Institut français, which now counts nigh on 350 films of 90 nationalities among its recipients, over half of which being first or second feature films.

"France has always been a refuge and a partner for filmmakers hailing from all around the world. Aide aux cinémas du monde is a brand of excellence which is key to unearthing new talent and future great names in global cinema. By way of its open approach, France has provided assistance to the biggest names in the business: Youssef Chahine, Michael Haneke, Wong Kar-Waï and, more recently, Naomi Kawase, Jia Zhang-Ke and Matteo Garrone. Now more than ever, the world needs these directors’ views on the world", stressed Frédérique Bredin, the President of the CNC who organised an evening event on Thursday 4 April, in celebration of the fund which places France at the heart of worldwide cinematographic creation.

Five filmmakers attended the event to highlight the important role played by Aide aux cinémas du monde: the Tunisian Kaouther Ben Hania (who received aid for Beauty and the Dogs [+leggi anche:
