Purpose
To support events held outside France to promote creation and the performance of new and recent works and involving a degree of artistic risk by including developing composers from the country in question.
Eligibility criteria
-
SACEM will give close consideration to applications involving composers who have participated in other initiatives supported by SACEM aimed at supporting these composers internationally, for example, New Music Focus events organised by the French Institute in 2015, professional meetings organised by the Bureau Export de la Musique Française, residencies for creation supported directly by SACEM or with combined funding from Diaphonique, Impuls Neue Musik, New Music Fund, etc.
-
Confirmation that the event is recognised by the local authors' society is required for the application to be considered.
-
Master classes, showcases or professional meetings to take place during the festival to promote emerging artists, audio-visual recordings or modules for publication online, and the organisation of residencies that establish paid collaborations with local creators and musicians, are important elements in support of applications for aid.
-
The presence of composers at professional meetings and any activity centred around them, such as media meetings, master classes, etc. is an important element in the general organisation of the festival.
Amount of funding
Up to 20% of the artistic budget, including the composer's travel expenses, to a maximum of €15,000.
Requirements for the application
- A document with details of:
- the festival programme, including any ancillary activities (additional activities and professional meetings for composers, planned or already scheduled).
- advertising policy, media partnerships, attendance, professionals attending, etc.
- Certificate of commission (if applicable)
- Budget and financing plan (form to be completed)

Evaluation of applications

Payment of support
