"In France, artists working in the live performance, film and audiovisual sectors have a special kind of unemployment insurance scheme: the régime des salariés intermittents du spectacle (scheme for intermittent workers in the performing arts). HesaMag went to meet four artists living in the south of France, each of whom manages his or her career in a unique way using elaborate organisational skills. We asked them about their day-to-day work as artists and the benefits, as well as the limitations, of the scheme."
