A few conditions apply:
Projects must pass a cultural test, assessing French or European cultural elements in the story (eg characters or themes from European or undetermined origin).
For VFX-intensive productions or animations, there is a dedicated test taking into account the specifics of the genre. Sci-fi or fantasy movies will definitely fall into this category.
The international producer must contract with a French studio
to handle the shoot and/or the VFX work and through a production service agreement. The minimum spend is 250000€ or for 50% of the total film budget to be spent in France.
