#COVID 19: SACEM AND THE CNC EXTEND THE EMERGENCY AUDIOVISUAL FUND
Last October, Sacem announced an agreement with the CNC* to create an emergency audiovisual fund for original soundtrack lyricists and score composers.
Soundtrack lyricists and score composers contribute to the quality of audio-visual works just as directors and scriptwriters do. To support them as they deal with the impact of the crisis, the CNC has agreed to finance this fund, managed by Sacem.
This aid, destined for lyricists or score composers who have contributed to a short film, a feature film, a documentary or a TV series supported by CNC, has been extended by 3 months until June 2021.
In order to better respond to the situations encountered by our members, the threshold for eligibility has been reviewed and set at a 40% loss of income as opposed to 50% initially.
Sacem has been committed for many years to defending and promoting the work of authors and composers of music for the screen and, together with the CNC, will do everything in its power to continue to support creativity.
