where she unveiled a plan to invest €350 million in the film and TV industry. Abdul-Malak also addressed some hot topics that are currently being debated within the industry, such as the windowing rules for streamers, the protests over the pension reform, the rise of the far right and criticism of France’s #MeToo movement.
Abdul-Malak said film and TV productions have a “huge economic impact” because when you “shoot a film, if €1 million is spent in filming, it brings €7.6 of economic impact for the area around hotels, restaurants and local jobs.” That said, the tax rebate for international productions isn’t meant to be increase beyond the current 30% until 2024 because that’s when it will be up for a revision by the French parliament.
She said quotas are still out of the question in France because the country doesn’t allow for ethnic statistics, but she argued that such regulations aren’t crucial to bring about change. “We decided to reopen discussions earlier than what was initially planned and we’re still in this process because the government is more as a mediation between all the parties. We need to preserve our network of theaters, because we have 2,000 theaters in France and French people are very much attached to this network that resisted quite well after the COVID time. But it’s also time to move a little bit the windows,” said Abdul-Malak.
