Whether in “I Lost My Body,” a boy-girl love story which takes place as the suitor’s severe hand crawls towards its owner, or with “The Summit of the Gods,” an epic account of two crazed climbers’ attempt to scale Everest’s South-West face in winter without oxygen, France is pushing back the boundaries of animation as art.
Also in the Xilam pipeline is Julien Bisaro’s highly anticipated feature “The Wolf,” about a vengeful shepherd chasing down a wolf in the high mountains as a storm brews, and “Monkey Bizness,” a “trashy offbeat comedy series and “kind of parody of ‘Planet of the Apes,’” according to Du Pontavice. As for film, French feature releases in 2020 “as well as those in development and production, confirm the great diversity of French animated cinema, in subjects, techniques, international potential, story telling, direction, audiences,” says Jean-Paul Commin, an animation expert and consultant on Cannes Official Selection title “Josep.”
The sector enjoys ever greater state support, the CNC film-TV agency boosting automatic and selective aid for animation, both its creation and production, in 2016. Tax credits for foreign animation production or VFX work carried out in France had already been raised a year earlier to 30% rate reduction on local spend and a €30 million cap.
In TV, the overall volume of hours produced by French companies did not increase last year, says Kouper.
