ESSENTIAL LEGAL FRAMEWORK
‹Professionalize the professionals› is the main goal of the Erich Pommer Institute's workshop programme ESSENTIAL LEGAL FRAMEWORK that covers important legal fields which are relevant to the development, financing, production as well as to the marketing of films in all forms of media. The workshops offer profound knowledge tailored to the specific needs of the film and television industry.

1. Rights Clearance
Every film producer, every television network, every website provider has to clear rights for music, texts, images, personal rights and privacy. This is often a complicated, interminable and costly process. The seminar will provide the participants with the necessary practical knowledge in how to clear rights fast and effectively. Teaching will combine theoretical and practical work ‹on the case›.

Topics
  • Clearing copyrights, personality rights, trademarks
  • Clearing music rights
  • The global perspective: exemplary cases in different national jurisdictions
  • E&O insurance
  • Getting the rights: essential elements of depictions release
