The Erich Pommer Institut offers training events that are designed to meet the specific needs of the European audiovisual industry. Our goal is to enable film and TV professionals to update and deepen their knowledge fast and effectively. The workshops offer compact information with an emphasis on legal and financial aspects and can be booked separately.
Training Events in 2010:
Digital Distribution Strategies: 2 to 6 June 2010 in Berlin/Germany
European Co-Production: 13 to 17 October 2010 on Mallorca/Spain
Rights Clearance: 1 to 5 December 2010 in Baden (close to Vienna)/Austria (see below).
Rights Clearance Scripts based on real stories, a Warhol poster in the background of a scene, and a protagonist humming a Robbie Williams song - not all rights contained in a script or a film are that obvious. Only a detailed analysis can avoid cost-intensive pitfalls. ‹Rights Clearance› is becoming increasingly important, both nationally and internationally. This seminar and workshop offers the practical knowledge to identify and clear rights fast and effectively. Teaching will combine theoretical and practical work on the case including best practices and strategies.
