The CNC report (National Center for Cinema and Animated Image) on supporting the creators' economy on free platforms has proposed a plan to accompany content creators until 2028. This report also mentions the possibility of establishing an automatic aid fund for this sector in the future.
Conditions for Launching the Automatic Aid Fund
According to this report, authored by Maxim Boutron, a government advisor, specific conditions must be met to launch the automatic aid fund in the coming years. Boutron emphasizes the need for a legal framework, pre-technology, and market organization. He refers to a set of criteria that must be adhered to for the approval of the automatic fund, including transparency, commitment from various stakeholders in the value chain, and the presence of independent producers with sufficient financial resources.
Short-term Proposals for Supporting Creators
In the short term, Maxim Boutron suggests that the suspended fund from last spring be reinstated. He also emphasizes the necessity of allocating a budget for 2026, stating: "After a year without financial aid and in the context of video tax reform, the request to transfer 3 million euros to future budgets seems reasonable." He also stresses the need for special attention to narrative works that have historically had less presence on social platforms.
This report is published at a time when the issue of supporting content creators and financial aid to them remains a topic of extensive discussion. Maxim Boutron began his mission in early July, which was assigned to him after controversial discussions led to the suspension of the aid fund for content creators.
Presentation of Report Findings at Paris Creators Week
Gautier Brouel, the head of CNC, is set to officially present these findings at Paris Creators Week. This event is a suitable opportunity for discussion and exchange of views on the future of the creators' economy and the challenges they face. It is expected that this report and its proposals will have a significant impact on policies supporting content creators and help improve their working conditions.
