Who are we ?

Created in 1999, the Saif is one of the youngest artists’ societies in France. It stemed from artists’ wish to collectively defend their rights. The Saif is a civil society whose mission is to defend, collect and distribute visual artists’ rights. Today the Saif represents more than 7,000 artists in all kinds of visual arts: architects, designers, photographers, cartoonists, illustrators, graphic designers, painters, plasticians, sculptors… Over 4,600 of these artists are photographers.

Why support the La Gacilly Photo Festival?

The Saif also plays an important part in artistic and cultural variety in France. That is why we are happy to support the La Gacilly Photo Festival. The Festival’s commitment as well as its wish to promote contemporary photographic creation match the Saif’s promise to fight to make artists’ voices heard ever since it was created.

Our common values

The Saif is receptive to the La Gacilly Photo Festival’s values that the Festival has been defending for nearly 20 years. We are particularly sensitive to its focus on the great environmental issues in our society and the solutions proposed and presented through contemporary photographers’ eyes - photographers who prefigure the world of tomorrow.

Who are we?

As an advocate for artists, a symbole of creative diversity (audio-visual, sound, journalistic, multimedia, interactive), the Scam represents 48,000 members in front of the legislator, broadcasters, video platforms, and production companies. We discuss, collect and distribute royalties among the artists, assert their moral right and defend their interests.

Mindful of supporting proven talent, and attentive to new emerging talents, the Scam also carries an ambitious cultural policy. We encourage and support creation through grants, awards, and Stars… Each year, we also play a part in sophisticated cultural events that are open to the world, such as the La Gacilly Photo Festival which intertwines the collective with the intimate in an international approach.

Why support the La Gacilly Photo Festival?

Ever since 2020, the Scam is happy to accompany the La Gacilly Photo Festival, a place for sharing and exchanging which exalts and supports the creation, the production and the dissemination of photographies. Year after year, throughout its 18 editions, the festival has relentlessly stimulated the emergence of new takes and enforced the presence of photography in the public space.

The collaboration between the Scam and the festival is more than just a financial partnership thanks to the Scam Roger Pic Award that is highlighted each year in La Gacilly.
