BNP Paribas and Cinema

A partner and enthusiast of cinema

BNP Paribas and the film industry are connected by a shared set of values including creativity, imagination and innovation. For many years, the BNP Paribas Group has been committed to the 7th art by supporting and promoting cinema, both in France and around the world.

In Portugal, BNP Paribas has been a robust partner of the Festa do Cinema Francês (French Film Festival), an aficionado favourite and an unmissable event taking place in multiple Portuguese cities, such as Lisbon, Porto, Almada, Oeiras and Coimbra.

BNP Paribas: Supporting cinema in all its forms

BNP Paribas’ commitment to the seventh art is backed by the Group’s long history with the film industry. For over 100 years, the BNP Paribas Group has encouraged and participated in a wide range of initiatives benefiting the film industry, and supporting art house, fantasy and crime films, as well as backing film restoration projects, design, young filmmakers and production.

Active across the industry’s entire value chain, BNP Paribas’s commitment to film is rooted in three main focus areas: 

• financing audiovisual production and supporting the next generation of filmmakers;
• supporting the film industry through our film and festival partnerships;
• promoting film projects to raise awareness about our areas of commitment, such as diversity,  inclusion or youth.
