... AND ITS DIRECTOR
The Alpes-Maritimes Côte d’Azur Film Commission is a structure created in 1999 under the impetus of the Nice Côte d’Azur Chamber of Commerce and Industry and four founding cities: Antibes, Cannes, Grasse and Menton.
Since 2007, the Alpes-Maritimes Côte d’Azur Film Commission has had the status of an association under the French law of 1901, recognised as being of general interest, and is therefore authorised to collect cultural sponsorship funds. The Alpes-Maritimes Côte d’Azur Film Commission is an approved member of the Film France network of commissions.
It has since welcomed new members: the Alpes-Maritimes Departmental Council, the Alpes d’Azur Community of Municipalities, the French Riviera Agglomeration Community as well as the towns of Beausoleil, Bouyon, Briançonnet, Cabris, La Colle-sur-Loup, Gréolières, Lucéram, Mandelieu-La Napoule, Mougins, Nice, Rimplas, Roquebrune Cap-Martin, Saint-Etienne de Tinée – Auron, Saint-Martin Vésubie, Saint Vallier-De-Thiey, Théoule-sur-Mer, La Tour-sur-Tinée, Tourrettes-sur-Loup, Tournefort, Vence, Villefranche-sur-Mer and Villeneuve-Loubet.
The Commission is chaired by Frank Chikli, Deputy Mayor of Cannes, and vice-chaired by Charles Galbois, Vice-President of the Nice Côte d’Azur Chamber of Commerce and Industry and delegate of Tourism. Mrs. Thérèse Dartois, Deputy and Community Councillor of the town of Villeneuve-Loubet is the Treasurer.
