Description
IF Export is an international support program managed by Institut français, designed for French or France-based creators and cultural partners across a broad spectrum of disciplines, including architecture, visual arts, digital creation, crafts, design, performing arts, and music. The program funds projects that involve international distribution, cooperation, or participation in major cultural events. Eligible projects may be face-to-face, hybrid, or fully digital, and should demonstrate engagement with local partners and contexts.
A key requirement is the development of the project in consultation with the French cultural network in the target country or countries. This ensures alignment with local needs and maximizes the impact of French artistic presence abroad. The program is intended to foster global visibility, support innovative collaboration, and adapt to changing modes of artistic production and dissemination, including digital and hybrid models.
