Our Mission

UniFrance is the organisation in charge of promoting French cinema throughout the world.

Created in 1949, in the form of an association under the law of 1901, UniFrance is administered by French state authorities, in particular the CNC (Centre national du cinéma et de l'image animée). The association has nearly 1000 members: producers of feature films and shorts, exporters, sales agents, directors, actors, authors (screenwriters) and talent agents.

UniFrance in 6 points :

Unique expertise

UniFrance History

Unique expertise

Ever since its creation, UniFrance International has carried out studies of international markets and their evolution, and can thus offer today its truly unique expertise. 50 countries therefore appear in the crosshairs of the association which follows the careers of French feature films both in cinemas and on television, all year round. This follow-up (management of data and market analysis, production statistics, accompaniment and follow-up of film sales and distribution, knowledge of companies and their directors…) is the object of economic studies, made available to the members of the association and every partner of French cinema.

International presence

UniFrance accompanies French films on the international markets, from their sale to their distribution. UniFrance is present at every stage in the life of a French film abroad: from selection by a recognised festival or its screening in an international market, to its theatrical release in one or more foreign territories. UniFrance thus enhances the value of all recent French films.

Organisation of events

UniFrance holds events devoted to French cinema, where are combined, in one and the same space and over a limited time, the three fundamental objectives of promotion: action with regard to buyers, media, and the public.

International box-office results

UniFrance follows theatrical releases of films abroad.

With distributors, UniFrance carries out diversified actions in order to increase the distribution of French films on the principle world markets (organisation of travel for film crews, follow-up of relations with the press, widening of releases…).

With the CNC (Centre National de la Cinématographie), UniFrance manages the support commission for the release of French films abroad.

Key figures

Each year, French cinema in the world represents :

The second largest exporter of films.
2/3 of the production exported to at least 1 territory.
More than 1 new French film per day on cinema screens across the world.
40 French films per day broadcast by foreign televisions.
An audience of 65 million who watch French films each year on the average in cinemas.
350 million euros in receipts from cinemas abroad.
A strong cinema on its own territory (nearly 35%), a true exception in Europe.

Feature Film Commission
Economic Commission
Short Film Commission

The Members of the Commissions, elected for two years, meet at least every two months, upon convocation by their President, or by his Deputy, or by authorisation of the General Director of the association, who sets the agenda for the meetings.
The Commissions review and submit recommendations and proposals regarding all matters concerning the association's activities and programme, either on their own initiative or at the behest of the President of the association or the Executive Committee.
It must be noted that the Presidents of these four Commissions meet as often as they deem fit to address specific subjects or actions to be undertaken in particular geographic areas.

The Festival and Talent Relations Office works with some 40 international film festivals. For those festivals included in the Unifrance program, the Office can assist you at every stage: greeting you in Paris and organizing your viewing schedule of French films in the Unifrance's screening room, organizing the travel of artists appearing in selected films, and coordinating artistic delegations during the festival.

If you are an international film festival director:

Director of an International Short Film Festival

The Short Film Department is the privileged interface between more than 100 international festivals and French short films. This department assists with relations between festival programmers and French film rights holders, organizes the transport of videocassettes and prints, and oversees travel arrangements for film directors. Unifrance's Short Film Department finances each year the subtitling, in function of established rates with a fixed ceiling, of some 100 French short films, either selectively (as decided by the Short Film Committee at the first screening), or automatically (five selections at foreign film festivals). The department publishes a compilation of several of these shorts (Short Cuts and two DVDs per year), a guide to foreign festivals abroad supported by Unifrance, and a directory of buyers and distributors of French short films worldwide for Unifrance member producers and directors.

Our international directory of professionals

Contact information for persons and companies in France included in Unifrance's directory is freely available to Internet users. On the contrary, users must be logged in to access international contact information (access codes supplied to our members).

Our "Feature Film" database

Feature films included in our Internet database are those having received the approval of the CNC (Centre national de la cinématographie), whether they are 100% French productions, or coproductions with minority or majority French participation. To announce your feature films (in preparation, shoots, postproduction…), contact: sarah.psimaras@unifrance.org

Our "Short Film" database

Short films included in our Internet database are those French Films (whether they are 100% French productions, or coproductions with minority or majority French participation) having been issued a CNC visa, or any other film without such a visa which has been selected in an event supported by Unifrance. Equally included are films from the GREC (Groupe de Recherches et d'Essais Cinématographiques), as well as film school productions (La Fémis, l'ENS Louis-Lumière).

Our festivals, markets, and international events

Only international events or events of international scope are referenced on this website (for example, Cannes), which are included in Unifrance's annual activity programme: international film markets in which Unifrance participates, international festivals followed by Unifrance, and events devoted to French films organised or supported by Unifrance.

Our international box-office results for French films

The complete box-office results for all French film, updated every week, are available on-line to UniFrance members with appropriate access (log-in) codes.

Applied sources and methods
Results indicated for feature films concern the number of cinema admissions and box-office reports abroad (that's to say outside of France). Therefore they do not include sales receipts for French exporters and/or producers. These results are not meant to be exhaustive, even if the association follows more than 50 countries representing 95% of the world's market. Unifrance selects only the most reliable sources in each country, which can be either statistics providers, official bodies, one of our offices abroad, or even the distributors themselves. UniFrance also tracks the careers of French films on television in more than 30 countries (240 channels). For more information on figures, contact: quentin.deleau@unifrance.org

Our Partners

By becoming a partner of UniFrance, your company will be associated with all the activities of our organisation: you will be present at the most prestigious cinema events, alongside professionals representing the French film industry (actors, directors, producers…). Your company image will therefore directly benefit from the same enthusiasm and dedication which movie audiences have for them.

Contacts with the authorities in each country are greatly facilitated by UniFrance's unique structure, as the only organisation in the French film industry that benefits from support from both the Ministry of Culture and Communication and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The world of cinema is a universe that reflects the values proper to each country. Renowned the world over, French productions are welcomed by high-level cultural, political, and economic leaders. By taking part in these meetings, your company will establish international contacts with top level decision-makers.

Your financial support of UniFrance can be considered as an act of cultural patronage. Like any act of patronage, this entitles your company to fiscal advantages. These chiefly involve a company tax reduction of up to 60% of the donation amount, with the upper limit of the donation amount serving as the basis for the calculation of tax reduction, currently set at 0.5% of the company's annual turnover. Surplus sums may be carried forward over 5 years.

UniFrance would like to express its sincere thanks to its partners who support the promotion of French cinema around the world.
