Through the Fonds pour la jeune création francophone, the Centre national du cinéma et de l’image animée (CNC) supports the reinforcement of the dynamism of creation in French-speaking Africa. It promotes the emergence of young authors, writing and dramaturgy specific to the different territories. This action is now supported by the €4,475 million-Deental ACP Fund, which will grant a “financial bonus” to projects already recognised as eligible for production support.
