“The Paris Images Online allows us to bring together all energies around a common goal: to make France a great land for film shootings and digital production.
The time is appropriate: with the development of platforms and their participation in the funding of films and series in our country, content production is exploding. To achieve this, we are acquiring an industrial, technical and human capacity of an international standard, with real improved studios that bring together the best digital technologies and talents.”
The Paris Images Online, which is an event to reflect on the French film and audiovisual industries, summarizes the situation of productions and film shootings in France, in the changing landscape of global production. The goals are simple: to allow professionals to discuss industry issues, to highlight the development potential of international activities in France and to demonstrate the dynamism of the French sector to foreign professionals.
This offer dedicated to international professionals consists, this year, of round tables, 1 additional round table, case studies and a screendaily talk in live.
The CNC, the CST and the FICAM will organize round tables, conversations and case studies with the participation of the members of the events.

The round table will examine how France swiftly put in place a strict health protocol for filming and took steps to allow actors, filmmakers and crew members to travel. These have helped the country sustain its local and international production levels throughout the pandemic.
