France is the world’s third-biggest animation producer, according to data from the Cnc, with 7,790 employees last year.
A rising number of international productions, especially TV animation series, are flocking to France, attracted by its 30 tax rebate for international projects (Trip) program.
A higher 40 tax rebate is available for VFX projects with over €2 million (2.14 million) VFX spend in France, with seven projects supported in 2021, including Ridley Scott’s “The Last Duel.”
In 2021, animation repped 46 of all foreign production spend under the Trip scheme, marking a 62 increase between 2019 and 2021.
Demand for animation and VFX staff is surging in France with 16 job growth in 2021 alone.
The number of Trip-supported animation projects doubled between 2019 and 2021, and the number of all film and TV projects (fiction and animation) increased by 231. Seventy-one per cent of all supported projects in 2021 were for streaming platforms.
Animated shows for streamers, line produced in France, have become the country’s fastest-growing programming area.

French VFX powerhouse MacGuff – with headquarters in Paris and offices in L.A. – is using proprietary artificial intelligence tools, in particular Face Engine and Body Engine, in a broad range of VFX projects.
Current projects in the pipeline include Season 2 of “Lupin” for Netflix, “Hôtel du temps” for France Télévisions, and Christian Carion’s “Une belle course,” starring Dany Boon. The studio also used AI tools in Éric Rochant’s political thriller series “The Bureau.”
“Hôtel du temps” is a perfect example of the power of Face Engine since it brings historic figures back to life, such as late actor Jean Gabin and Princess Diana, to be interviewed by hard-hitting French journalist Thierry Ardisson.
MacGuff has an in-house R&d department that has been developing proprietary AI tools by mixing open-source software with proprietary code. The AI developments are being overseen by co-founder and joint director Rodolphe Chabrier and MacGuff...
