1982
The Art Grant Gambit

France expanded arts funding and cultural grants under Mitterrand’s new government.

Jed applied for a cultural subsidy using footage from a cat food advert. It featured Gregorian chant. The Ministry awarded him FF5,000,000 and asked for a sequel. The cat developed an agent.

Mmm... did that actually happen?

Tell us about something that did:-)

Say "happy birthday" to Jed:-)
