Panel Discussion

Panellists will share their experiences of conflicts that have arisen on filmmaking projects and will compare and contrast cases that were satisfactorily resolved with one that had less fortunate outcomes. Moderated by an expert lawyer, the panel will explore how conflicts can be best avoided by ensuring that contracts and agreements are clearly drafted to ensure that all parties are able to clear up any queries that might arise and know how to proceed if they should want to change any of the agreed provisions.

We are in no doubt that most conflicts, including those related to the signing of contracts and agreements, arise because one or more parties fail to fully understand the roles and tasks assigned to all those involved in making a film.

This panel discussion will examine the likely areas where problems might arise at different stages of production with the aim of fostering workspaces built on trust where everyone is pulling in the same direction with their eyes on the same goal: the film.
