In the Lille area, the support to TV, radio and cinema production has been entrusted for twenty years to an independent body: Centre Régional de Ressources Audiovisuelles (Regional audiovisual ressource centre) financed by the Regional Council. CRRAV is chaired by Regional Councillor Marie-France Berthet. Vincent Leclercq is General Manager. CRRAV is positioned as a true, minority, non-executive co-producer alongside authors, directors and producers, and invests nearly €2.75 million in the production of fiction films and documentaries, and supports community work.
