Festival du Film Policier de Cognac

[citation needed] In 2007, the wine syndicate Bureau National Interprofessionel du Cognac announced that it was withdrawing its support of the 25-year-old film event.

However, another famed wine city, Beaune, Côte d'Or, saw value in the format and two years later launched a successor: the Festival international du Film policier de Beaune.

[citation needed] Since 2010, the Cognac-based Polar: Le Festival – originally a strictly literary event – has incorporated a film competition, albeit on a much smaller scale, to compensate for the loss of the original film festival to Beaune.

This festival, which now covers crime and thriller fiction in novels, comics, film, television and theatre, has continued[2] until today (as of 2024[update]).
