In March 1996, SACEM signed an agreement with the American guilds and trade association representing creators of film and television shows: the Directors Guild of America (DGA) the Writers Guild of America, West (WGAW), and the Motion Picture Association (MPA). This unique partnership was designed with the goal of creating a common Cultural Fund to promote and teach the art of filmmaking.

The result of the partnership is the Franco-American Cultural Fund. Financed with Private Copy levy funds, this partnership promotes film creativity on both sides of the Atlantic by helping to encourage budding talent and to foster a dialogue between professionals. In both the U.S. and France, the fund sponsors original programs, featuring comprehensive artistic assistance, professional advice and financial aid for cultural projects.
