Why Rights Matter

This e-course presents a general introduction to legal terminology in documentary film material and to the rights associated with producing and distributing films. It also provides an insight into the understanding and definition of archival footage and citizen journalist materials.

Designed to challenge and expand the knowledge of documentary producers, rights-holders, directors who produce their own films, exhibitors, curators, archivists and other doc video activists and researchers, this e-course allows 6 to 10 participants to get first-hand experience provided by instructors. It aims to enable them to pursue the development of their career and knowledge and even potentially benefit from joining a study tour in Germany where they can consolidate their newly acquired skills and knowledge.

Main Mentors: Benjamin Cölle, Edda Baumann-von Broen
