IDFA Industry Session
21 November 2016, 10:00, NH Carlton Paganini, Admission for all passholders
What is happening at a European level in terms of harmonizing authors’ rights laws? While new distribution models and VOD platforms are mushrooming, in many countries appropriate legislation to guarantee author royalties is a step behind. While filmmakers are making films, European collective management organizations are working to secure rights for the creators of these audiovisual works in the future. What does the single digital market concept mean for filmmakers? Cecile Despringre of the Society of Audiovisual Authors sets the scene on European legislation in a talk moderated by Martijn Winkler, president of the Dutch Directors Guild. Get yourself informed on this important issue!
November 21, 10:00-11:00 | Industry Office, E-floor
