“The establishment of Studios de Marseille at the Belle de Mai Media Park forms part of a long-awaited decentralisation process which, in time, will strengthen and perpetuate the film and audiovisual industries in France.
The partnership of local community and technical industries as investors and creators of employment is clearly a winning combination. Together, both private entrepreneurs and local community must play a pioneering, innovative role. Side by side, we must develop the network and make it as dynamic and attractive as possible.
In establishing the Media Park and impressive filming locations right in the heart of the city, Marseille has placed a real bet on the future. The Centre testifies to the determination and motivation of the entire community. It is the embodiment of a fighting spirit which has resulted in the creation of the Euromediterranean project, and which may very well earn Marseille the title of most important Media Park after Paris.
The Centre brings together all ingredients for success: state-of-the-art technical resources, film sets of exemplary
quality only 3 hours from Paris, and the proximity of remarkable exterior locations. The success of “Plus Belle la Vie”, which glues between 5 and 7 million
French people to their TV sets every evening, is the brilliant proof of this success.
Given these favourable conditions, I think that technical production companies will not be able to ignore Marseille.
Now, we must continue this successful first step by speeding up the development of the network, particularly by extending it across Europe.“
