Untitled - Fondation Gan pour le cinéma

The Gan Foundation
Gan and its networks
LA PAPESSE JEANNE directed by 2012 award winner Jean Breschand
The Gan Foundation for Cinema is one of the two foundations of the
Groupama Group, one of France’s largest insurance companies and
whose societal commitment has over many years been its support
for artistic creation. The Foundation is strongly linked to the identity
of the Gan company (one of three within the Groupama Group) which
accompanies those who “dare”, those who move forward.
For almost 30 years the Foundation has been engaged alongside
cinema entrepreneurs, and numerous young talented individuals have
emerged thanks to its support. Indeed, the Gan Foundation is one of the
principal private partners in French cinema, one which accompanies
creators right up to the distribution of their works, thanks to the Aid
for Creation and Aid for Distribution, which are its principal missions.
Aid for Creation
Gan’s involvement in cinema is far from new, and all the entities
of the Gan insurance company* play a part. They can turn to the
Foundation and a catalogue of films for the organization of public
relations events, in the form of film screenings.
These cinema evenings represent unique opportunities
for Gan’s entities to invite their customers, partners and
prospective clients, and also their staff, to enter a privileged
environment that combines conviviality, pleasure and culture.

and Gan Eurocourtage Collectives
Aid for Distribution
54e SEMAINE
DE LA CRITIQUE
CANNES
Each awarded film receives €53,000, of which €3,000 is for
the director and €50,000 for the producer. This aid can be
increased by a further €25,000 thanks to existing partnerships
with Panavision Alga, specialized in the rental of filming
equipment, and post-production company Mikros Image.
Today, support from the Foundation is not only financial – it is
also recognised as a mark of quality.

With its Aid for Distribution, the Foundation offers its support for
various festivals, whether this be in the form of financial assistance,
the organisation of professional meetings or the award of a prize for
distribution (€20,000 for the French distributor of a film or project
that has been honoured by the Foundation).

Aid for Creation consists of yearly awards given to four feature
-length films (first or second film projects) which are selected
on the basis of their screenplays, and also the attribution of
a Special Prize.
It is within this framework that the Foundation is a partner of the
Angers First Film Festival, the Cannes International Critics’ Week,
and the Annecy International Animated Film Festival.
Since 2014, the Foundation has provided aid for the distribution
of: THE TRIBE by Myroslav Slaboshpytskiy, THE WAKHAN FRONT
by Clément Cogitore, ADAMA by Simon Rouby and MY LIFE AS A
ZUCCHINI by Claude Barras.
The Foundation since 1987
Honorary president Costa-Gavras with 2008 award winner Katell Quillévéré
The Foundation was created by Gan in 1987 during the 40th Cannes
Film Festival. Costa-Gavras, then president of the Cinémathèque
Française, provided the inspiration for the field of activity of what
would become France’s leading company foundation dedicated to
cinema, and he remains the Foundation’s honorary president.
Today, the Foundation’s action is recognised to be essential, as
illustrated by the numerous awards it has received, which include, on
three occasions, France’s Oscar du Mécénat (Oscar for Patronage)
and, in 2007, the French culture ministry’s Grand Mécène Gold Medal
for patronage.
In a few figures
Alice Winocour, the Foundation’s 2016 patron of events

R has studied more than 4,500 screenplays,

(including 12 Special Prize winners).
The projects it has supported have won more than 200 distinctions in France
and abroad, including 25 awards at the French cinema industry’s yearly
César ceremonies, and 11 awards at the Cannes Film Festival.
In 2015, the Gan Foundation became a major patron of the Cinémathèque Française.
The Foundation is also proud to have supported the first films of Jean-Pierre Jeunet
and Marc Caro with DELICATESSEN, Bruno Dumont with THE LIFE OF JESUS,
Mia Hansen-Løve with ALL IS FORGIVEN, Thomas Lilti with LES YEUX BANDÉS,

Accompanying filmmakers

MICROCOSMOS by Claude Nuridsany and Marie Perennou (1992),

The scriptwriters taking part in LA SÉLECTION in 2015
The Foundation takes a long-term view of accompanying talent.
It hands the stage to its award-winners during the RETOUR
D’EXPÉRIENCE presentation at the Angers First Film Festival, an
event at which a director and producer are invited to recount the
adventure of making their first film.
The Foundation also invites directors to present their film project to
producers when they meet together during a unique yearly gathering
in Paris called LA SÉLECTION, created in association with the
residential scriptwriting centre Le Groupe Ouest.
