The CNC (with the Game France label) is partnering with the Institut français d’Allemagne to launch “Games to Screen: Showcase of French IPs” during the European Film Market (EFM) of the Berlinale on February 13, 2026.

Dedicated to French video game IPs with strong adaptation potential for film and television, this new format aims to bring together the audiovisual and video game industries to foster the development of new stories for the screen. It offers a unique opportunity for international producers to meet French talent and discover their creative worlds.

Five French studios have been selected to pitch their IPs: Rebel Pixel (Lyon), Sunny Lab (Paris), Cyanide (Paris), Parallel Studio (Paris), and Moon Valley (Paris).

The Annecy International Animation Film Market

As a leading global event for the animation industry, MIFA has been strengthening its initiatives dedicated to XR and video games since 2024 through conferences, demonstrations, and networking opportunities.

On the occasion of MIFA, the regional video game association Game Only has organized “Animation Meets Games”, with the support of the CNC, to foster connections between the video game and animation industries. The initiative aims to facilitate targeted business meetings and networking opportunities between French and international animation professionals, and video game studios and publishers. These exchanges can lead to cross-industry IP adaptation partnerships through licensing, co-production, or service opportunities.

Since 2020, the Pégases awards ceremony has been held annually to honour the best French and international video game productions, as well as artistic creations and talents in France. Its aim is to highlight the excellence of the national industry and establish video games as the Tenth Art within the cultural industries.

The winners of the awards bestowed by the Academy of Video Game Arts and Techniques receive a “Pégases”, a magnificent trophy representing one of the most famous creatures in Greek mythology. The winners are chosen each year not by a small jury, but by the more than 2,800 professional members of the Academy of Video Game Arts and Techniques, who vote in two rounds. Each member’s vote is secret.
