The phenomenon of delocalization is reaching worrying proportions in France: this is just one of the pieces of information to emerge from the study \u201cGeographical distribution of French TV drama filming in 2011\u201d carried out by Film France. \u00a0\u00a0And the overall figures do not offer much comfort either.<\/p>\n
In fact, despite an apparent stability (7143 days in 2011 versus 7147 in 2010), the study shows that production activities have dropped since 2008 when the figure was 8395 days. \u00a0Combining the three year periods 2006-2008 and 2009-2011, there has been a fall of – 14% and the number of filming projects has also decreased: 186 in 2011, compared to 208 in 2010 and 248 in 2009.<\/p>\n
There is also a new record: 10% of the filming is carried out abroad.\u00a0 This is the highest level recorded since 2005, the year monitoring began. Although we should remember that this percentage includes international projects for which the term \u201cdelocalization\u201d may be incorrect, the picture is still far from reassuring. \u00a0\u201cThe situation continues to be extremely worrying\u201d, warns Nicolas Traube, president of Film France. \u00a0Traube believes the main cause to be the reduction in compulsory investment quotas by private TV networks which came into force in 2009: \u201cIn the light of these results, Film France believes that the workings of the tax credit system should be urgently reviewed, with regard to both national and international productions\u201d.<\/p>\n
The study also shows the distribution of filming in the various regions: Ile de France constantly comes out on top, jumping to 47% (40% in 2010), followed by the PACA region (Provence \u2013Alpes-C\u00f4te d\u2019Azur), France\u2019s second audiovisual center, which remains steady at 14% . \u00a0The crisis has led to a greater concentration: 87% of the activities are absorbed by 6 regions (Ile de France and PACA are followed by Poitou-Charentes, Aquitaine, Nord Pas de Calais and Rhone Alpes), compared to 72% in 2010.<\/p>\n
This year, for the first time, the Film France study also looked at studio filming of TV dramas: this was 13.75% (886 days out of a total of 6457), a much higher percentage than that of feature films which is no more than 6%. \u00a0In this case, the regional distribution was more balanced: 62% in the Ile de France and 29% in the PACA region.<\/p>\n
