Missions
The CNC has several critical missions in the film and audiovisual industry. It aims to foster the growth and success of the industry by providing support for training, creation, distribution, exportation, and technical industries. The CNC also seeks to encourage and facilitate the creative pursuits of filmmakers, authors, and screenwriters by offering various forms of assistance, including financial aid for writing, production, distribution, exploitation, and exportation. As part of its regulatory role, the CNC is responsible for developing regulations and ensuring their application, while also conducting studies to evaluate industry trends and needs. It is also committed to promoting the diversity of creation and distribution and preserving the rich film heritage, as well as educating the public about the importance of film culture and developing film literacy. Through dialogue with industry professionals in France and abroad, the CNC seeks to advance the interests of the industry and enhance the attractiveness of the French territory.
Budget
The CNC is a public institution endowed with administrative and financial autonomy. Its independence is based on a system of taxes that funds its support and regulation missions. These taxes are levied on the distribution of works, including the TSA (tax on cinema tickets) which is collected for each ticket sold and amounts to 10.72% of the ticket price, and the TST (tax on television services) which applies to both publishers and distributors. Publishers are taxed on their advertising revenue, SMS and premium calls for their stream programs, as well as on their contribution to public audiovisual content, amounting to 5.15% of their revenue. Distributors are taxed on subscriptions to pay TV channels and triple-play subscriptions giving access to television services, ranging from 0.5% to 6.8% of their revenue. The tax on the physical and digital distribution of audiovisual content, known as TSV, impacts both DVD and Blu-Ray sellers and publishers of VOD services, whether free (YouTube) or paid (Netflix). The tax amounts to 5.15% of the turnover.
