Audiovisual and Film Production Collective
Create together, differently.
A Brief History
In the Beginning...
Founded in 2014, CLAP ! Ça Tourne ! was created to support audiovisual and film project leaders by providing human and material resources.
Over the years, this approach has evolved into a more collective model, focused on the creation and production of projects led by its members.
Since 2026, it has transformed into a collective of writers, directors, technicians, amateurs, and professionals. Always passionate about image and sound and united by film and audiovisual creation.
The association develops, produces, and supports works led by its members through a collaborative, non-profit approach.
We share our skills, knowledge, expertise, and equipment to create our projects.
We welcome anyone who shares our passion for creating, even when it goes against the logic of profit.
We believe that mutual support is essential, and we work together to bring these projects to life.
Our Projects
In 2023, the association helped produce the short film BLOOD FOR BLOOD (SANG POUR SANG), a psychological thriller available on video-on-demand platforms in North America.
In 2022, the very short film VALENTIN, a social drama about sexual violence, was directed and produced with the support of the association
About us
The association has also facilitated the creation of web series, the latest of which is:
ENCLAVE: The Four of Neuville (originalement : ADES' kids),
) which was selected for numerous international film festivals from 2023 to 2024

From 2015 to 2019, the association produced the web series CØLLATERAL and REFUGE.
Projects in development
We are currently working on several projects, both in the writing phase and in pre-production, as part of our ongoing collaborative effort.

Frequently Asked Questions
Si je veux vous rejoindre, ça se passe comment ?
If you're interested in creating, you're welcome to join us.
There is no typical candidate, but you must be willing to be part of a team effort.
Puis-je proposer un projet ?
Absolutely!
If you have an idea, we can discuss it. The projects are then reviewed collectively to see if they can be realized under the right conditions.
Quels projets avez-vous envie de faire ?
Feasible projects!
We prioritize formats that fit our budget: minimal sets—or outdoor locations; a small crew; and a streamlined production process.
More ambitious projects are possible, but they generally require outside funding or a strong network.
Financez-vous les projets ?
Not in the traditional sense.
Above all, the association provides a framework, equipment, and expertise.
Some projects are self-funded, while others may be eligible for external funding, but we do not guarantee funding.
Est-ce que je serai payé ?
It depends on the project.
When necessary and feasible, certain positions (such as actors or technicians) may be compensated.
However, a large portion of the projects also relies on volunteer participation.
The goal is to remain consistent with the available resources, without making false promises.
Do I have to be there all the time?
No.
We operate on a project basis.
You get involved when you feel like it and when you can.
Who owns the movies?
The authors.
The association provides a framework for creating and producing works, but does not claim ownership of them.
What tools are available?
We provide tools for writing and preparing projects.
Their use is shared among members, with some restrictions to ensure that everyone can benefit from them.
Why join the association?
Because we don't create on our own.
The association brings together expertise, resources, and organizational support to make projects a reality that would be difficult to carry out on one’s own.
What if I want to learn first?
That's perfect timing!
In 2021, we drafted a “ Guide : comment faire un film ? ”
We wanted to share our hands-on experience to help those who are looking to get started.
So, it's available for free, with no registration required or anything like that.
What is your philosophy?
Let’s create together, using the resources we have.
No unrealistic promises, but a genuine desire to bring projects to life.
How can I get involved in one of your projects?
Nous publions sur Cineaste.org et d’autres sites de ce type afin de trouver des passionné·e·s comme nous.
We also share this information on all our social media channels. Follow us.
