Putting the spotlight on mobile creation with Unlock
Cellphones have become integral parts of our daily lives, fostering the emergence of new artistic content. In order to promote these new formats and cultural consumption models, and to provide support to the creative sector, the Institut français has curated a catalog of French digital creations specifically designed for mobile devices. "Unlock" brings together twelve artworks in different formats: Augmented Reality experiences, mobile video games, webtoons, podcasts and innovative reading experiences.
A programming offer ready to use, for the cultural network and its partners
The Institut français proposes to the French cultural network abroad programming offers, which gather exhibitions and catalogs of digital creations intended to be presented in their venues or those of their partners.
The Institut français acquired the international non-commercial distribution rights for these creations, for in situ presentations within the venues of the French cultural network or those of their partners. Events are then organized locally by the French cultural network abroad.

France now holds a leading position in the field of immersive creations.
In virtual reality, French productions regularly stand out at major international festivals, where they are praised for the richness of their storytelling, the quality of their production, and their artistic inventiveness. In augmented reality, France is developing pioneering projects that engage museums, public spaces, and cultural mediation initiatives, offering new ways to discover and share the arts and heritage.
The Institut Français offers the French cultural network abroad the opportunity to showcase the creativity and diversity of French works internationally through the XR Catalog, a collection featuring more than thirty reference works in virtual and augmented reality.
