« Created in June 1968, the Société des Réalisateurs de Films (Film Directors' Society) was set up to "defend artistic, moral, professional and economic freedom in filmmaking, and to participate in the development of new cinema structures".

Born in an atmosphere of anger and turbulence, the SRF has stayed faithful to its original mandate. Taking care to implicate itself in a prestigious tradition, which has always brought French filmmakers together to defend their art, the SRF has remained steadfastly representative. Given the "new information" of cinema in Europe and throughout the world, the society provides inspiration for the creation of filmmaker's organisations in numerous countries.

Fiercely independent, the SRF is funded by member subscriptions and grants from the Centre National de la Cinématographie for its cultural actions. »
