Cnam-Enjmin is amongst the 68 winners of La Grande fabrique de l’image call for projects, which is part of the France 2030 programme. The winners were announced on 19th May 2023 at the Cannes Film Festival.
Thanks to the financial support from La Grande fabrique de l’image provided by the France 2030 programme, the big investment plan for the future lead by the French government, the French National Centre for Cinema and the Moving Image (CNC) and the French Deposits and Consignments Fund (la Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations), Cnam-Enjmin is going to put into place an ambitious development project:
- Create new post-high school diplomas as apprenticeship courses with an innovative teaching method (online lessons delivered in an asynchronous format): Bachelor's degree in Digital Arts for Video Games and Bachelor's degree in Game Design
- Create around 50 accessible, remote training modules enabling people to learn whenever they want throughout their life and career
- Double the number of staff working on the master's degree with an international perspective
In October 2021, the French President unveiled the big investment plan for the future, France 2030, along with 54 billion euros to make France a future leader in all strategic domains related to economy.
As part of this budget, France 2030 is devoting 1 billion euros to culture, in order to affirm France's technological and cultural sovereignty in a national and European context.
The call for projects entitled La Grande fabrique de l’image, which is part of the France 2030 programme and has a budget of 350 million euros, seeks to support the lifeblood of the sector to break through a scaling change in aid of French creation, and make France a leader in the fields of film shooting, film, series and video game production, and post-production (in particular special effects), as well as in training courses for the different professions in the cinema and audiovisual sector.
* Video games are at the top of the Cultural and Creative Industries *
The French video game market has been growing by 4 % on average per year since 2017, the same speed as the global market which was worth 170 billion euros in 2022.
With a turnover of 5.5 billion euros in 2022, video games have now become the number one creative and innovative cultural industry in France. The sector produces over 1,200 new video games every year in France.
Also keep in mind the fact that in 2022, 7 out of 10 French people play video games at least occasionally.
