Description
The Cultural and Creative Industries Program (PICC), run by the Institut français, supports projects as part of the French government’s strategy to support and boost exports of French cultural and creative industries. It also contributes to strengthening the Institut français’s own strategy for supporting these industries, placing project support within a broader framework for French cultural and creative activity abroad.
The program spans architecture, visual arts and photography, cinema, books, crafts and design, and performing arts and music. Its scope covers several branches of cultural and creative production rather than a single discipline, with support for French cultural and creative industries and export promotion at the center of its stated purpose.
