Unifrance and the Promotion of French Cinema around the World in Figures

The French film industry ranks second in the world for exports. Two-thirds of productions are exported to at least one other country; new French films average more than one a day on cinema screens around the world; forty French films are broadcast every day on foreign television channels; some 65 million every year watch French films in the cinema – 67.3 million in 2009 – grossing some €350 million of income from foreign film theatres. French cinema is very resilient in its home market, somewhat exceptional for a European country.

In order to promote French feature films each year, Unifrance organizes eighty French film festivals, supports sixty international feature film festivals and finances 300 visits abroad for actors and directors.19 It maintains an international network of 800 distributors – television channel buyers of French films and festival organizers around the world – as well as 1,200 foreign journalists. Each year it organizes 2,500 interviews. The output of the French film industry can be seen in the film theatres of fifty countries and on 200 television channels in thirty countries. Annual support allows some 5,000 short films to be entered for 100 festivals worldwide – 500 films, comprising 1,300 distinct copies were selected at 175 festivals in forty-five countries; 100 prizes were awarded for seventy films; and forty-five visits were made by directors and producers; some 200 films were screened by seventeen short film committees. On a technical level, there were sixty selective and forty automatic aids to subtitling.
