AMV France Association
The AMV-FRANCE association was created in 2008 by the merger of the two largest French communities of musical video clips of the AMV (Anime Music Video) type. Its goal is to promote AMVs in France and French-speaking countries at conventions and on the web: firstly by promoting the development and gathering of a French community of "AMV Editors", then by trying to bring greater visibility to AMV production, and finally by facilitating exchanges with the international community.
Its history:
The AMV-FRANCE association is the result of the merger between the Fantasy Movies association and the AMVdeFans community. The Fantasy-Movies association was founded in 2001 during the Cartoonist convention in Paris. Since 2002, it managed the annual Japan Expo contest and was present at numerous anime conventions in France, and sometimes abroad. Regularly offering games, events, contests, and activitess, its success and reputation were undeniable. The AMVdeFans website, also created in 2001, quickly became the reference French host for AMVs and, above all, the largest community of French AMV editors. With its warm reputation, the site has always aimed to be a privileged space of conviviality.
Its activities:
The association provides all the necessary means for the development of AMV-type music videos in France. Whether by organizing dedicated events such as competitions and meetings or by maintaining close ties with various partners, AMV-FRANCE aims to be a participatory association where everyone can contribute, whether they are experienced or newcomers. The association organizes numerous competitions every year, including the large international AMV contest at Japan Expo. The website aims to be a gathering space for AMV creation passionates. Online clips and animations brighten up the site and offer editors the opportunity to compete with each other.
What does my membership status bring me?
