FAQs

We can create innovative, tailor-made insurance solutions that cover a range of professions and organisations in the entertainment sector, including actors and actresses, musicians, singers, bands, dancers, comedians, artists, performers, promoters, broadcasters, show producers, organisers, and even venues for professional entertainment events.

Whether you are an entertainment professional, or a film or TV show producer, we understand the threats to you and your business and the insurance solutions that can help you protect against:

  • The interruption, postponement, or cancellation of filming following the unavailability of a key person, accidental destruction of equipment and/or premises, lack of electricity supply, computer failure, closure of airports/stations, accidental interruption of the broadcast, withdrawal of authorisation, popular movements, strikes, attack, and/or threat of attack.
  • Damage to the audiovisual medium.
  • Damage to audiovisual equipment, sets, costumes, and props.

It is essential to take out an insurance policy adapted to the particularities of the production, covering all the risks in the event of interruption, postponement, or cancellation of filming. Shooting or post-production of a cinematographic work are phases that pose significant risks.

An accident, even a minor one, can cause unforeseen losses or delays compromising your entire project, such as the unavailability of a key person, accidental destruction of equipment and/or premises, lack of electricity supply, computer failure, closure of airports/stations, accidental interruption of the trans, withdrawal of authorisation, attack and/or threat of attack, popular movements, and/or strikes.

The event industry is confronted with a multitude of risks linked to the ephemeral nature of events, including fixed dates of performances, high budgets in many cases, the importance of the technical equipment and teams on site, and crowd management. These are among the issues that require adapted solutions covering general liability, equipment, cancellation. and individual accident insurance.

Cancellation insurance covers financial losses following the cancellation of an event due to unforeseen incidents, such as terrorist attacks, bad weather, strikes, public protests, epidemics, and such. It is important to pay attention to the inception date, which is essential because only events occurring after this date are covered.
