“Seventy years ago, within the span of a few weeks, two emblematic institutions of the French cultural landscape promoting cultural diversity were born: the Cannes Film Festival and the Centre national du cinéma et de l'image animée (CNC). For seven decades now, both institutions have been working toward the same goal: to enhance and promote the creation and prosperity of cinema,” says president of the CNC Frédérique Bredin.
