For its first transitional term in 2021 (covering 2 years), the Board of Directors elected a President/Vice-President duo who had submitted a joint application as candidates: Serge Toubiana and Hervé Michel were thus respectively elected President and Vice-President of the association, representing the two sectors of film and television.

Unifrance possesses an extremely complete database of French films (both features and shorts) and professionals working in the international motion-picture industry.
Its directory of professionals is a reference for professionals in the sector who use it on a daily basis in their work to find information about a particular film, company or person, according to their jobs or activity. Multiple on-line forms enable Internet users to carry out precise searches. To view the different searches, you need only navigate through the various menus of unifrance.org, each menu representing in itself a full-fledged website.

- more than 19,000 feature films
- more than 23,000 shorts
- more than 300 festivals/events

- Our international box-office results for French films
- Unifrance respects CNIL Recommendations

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 du cinéma et de l’image animée, whether they are 100% French productions, or coproductions with minority or majority French participation. To announce your feature films (in preparation, shoots, postproduction…), contact: axel.petit@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). To publish or correct your short films' data, contact: christine.gendre@unifrance.org
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: andrea.sponchiado@unifrance.org
UniFrance respects CNIL Recommendations

Ownership of On-line Contents
Unifrance is the exclusive owner of all intellectual property rights to the structure and contents of its website, or has regularly acquired the rights enabling exploitation of the structure and contents of its website, without limitation.
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.
