Cinema

In 1917, BNP Paribas embarked on a long-standing partnership with the film industry, a relationship that has endured for over a century. Throughout the years, the bank has been actively engaged in all aspects of the cinematic industry, encompassing production, distribution, and exhibition. It has provided support to numerous film festivals and has played a role in the restoration of landmark films. With the backing of its subsidiaries, notably BNL in Italy and BNP Paribas Fortis in Belgium, which share a similar dedication to the film industry, BNP Paribas has established itself as the reference bank for the film industry in Europe.
