Renaissance won the Cristal for Best Feature Film at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival in 2006. It was also shortlisted for the 2007 Oscars and distributed in France by Pathé and in the U.S. by Miramax.

In 2008, Christian Volckman co-created the duo "©®" with Raphaël Thierry and launched the project THEFLOW, which inspired a series of thematic exhibitions born from their artistic collaboration. Through Suburb Production, he directed more than a dozen music videos recognized by the CNC (France’s National Film Board), including Miss Chang and Once Upon A Time for the band Chinese Man, the music video Diego Symphonique for Johnny Hallyday, and the entire suite of music videos for the album Paris by artist Zaz, which was produced by Quincy Jones. He also created a stunning music video for Israeli artist Rony Alter, featuring longboard dancing world champion Lotfy Lamaali. In early 2017, he worked on several feature films, including The Room, produced by Les Films du Poisson and starring Olga Kurylenko and Kevin Janssens.
