What PROCIREP does

PROCIREP (Société des Producteurs de Cinéma et de Télévision) is a French civil society (société civile) founded in 1967 and headquartered at 11 bis rue Jean Goujon, Paris, operating as a collective management organization (OGC) for French film and television producers. It is governed by President Isabelle Madelaine and managed by Délégué général Idzard van der Puyl, with 11-50 employees. Its core function is the collection and distribution of private copying royalties (copie privée) from device manufacturers and importers, and the operational administration of its sister society ANGOA, which manages retransmission rights from cable, DSL, satellite, and mobile operators.

The organization's revenue mechanics operate under French copyright law (Code de la Propriété Intellectuelle) with statutory mandates from the Ministry of Culture. PROCIREP retains 25% of private copying revenues for creation aid, distributed through two commissions (Cinema and Television), and the remaining 75% is allocated to rights holders based on broadcast and copying rates. Consolidated distributions with ANGOA reached €78M in 2025 (up from €71M in 2024), of which approximately €15M was allocated to creation aid supporting nearly 70 short film producers and numerous feature/TV productions annually. PROCIREP also operates the Agence Française ISAN (330,000+ registered works, 5,800+ declarants), the Caisse de Répartition for digital cinema distribution, and is a founding member of EUROCOPYA (11 European OGCs) and a partner in the EU-funded TEMS media data space.

In June 2026, PROCIREP extended its mandate to include voluntary collective management of producers' rights regarding training of generative AI systems, positioning the organization at the intersection of French audiovisual rights and emerging AI licensing frameworks. The organization actively advocates for legal presumption of works use by AI (Darcos AI law) and participates in pan-European regulatory initiatives, though it has no proprietary AI products or technology platform itself — its function is rights administration, not technology commercialization. Management cost efficiency is highly competitive (PROCIREP 4.55%, ANGOA 3.60% of collected amounts).

ANGOA also distributes creation aid from its own prescribed funds.
4. Digital Distribution Contribution (Caisse de répartition): PROCIREP operates a distribution fund (Caisse de répartition) managing numerical contributions from distributors for expansion of theatrical release plans (2nd–4th week), and ADRC contributions, redistributing to cinema exhibitors. Unit contribution set at €470 per additional screen.
5. ISAN Registration Fees: The Agence Française ISAN, operated by PROCIREP, provides audiovisual work registration services. Over 330,000 ISAN references registered, with mandatory ISAN numbers required for PROCIREP and ANGOA rights declarations, and mandatory for CNC-aided works since 2017.
