Rights in Sight
When making a fiction or documentary film, before you can use anything that might be subject to copyright—from a song to a brand name—you need to jump through a series of legal hoops. If you are interested in learning how this process works and the role a clearance coordinator plays, this workshop is for you!
Led by María Jiménez, we will discover how to use and display items in a film production in keeping with all the necessary legal requirements without having to sacrifice any of our creative flair.
- What are clearances and what role does a clearance coordinator play?
- How should I manage copyrights and trademarks in my productions?
- Strategies for balancing the law with creativity
- Key differences between fiction and documentary projects
- Practical case studies and where to find free material (and their risks)
This workshop is aimed at audiovisual and film industry professionals, as well as lawyers, cultural managers and students. It offers a great opportunity to learn how to bring your ideas to the screen without crossing legal lines.
Sign up and make sure your project is ready for the real world!
María Jiménez, film researcher and clearance coordinator, will guide us through her experience in both fiction and non-fiction projects, including La sociedad de la nieve, by Juan Antonio Bayona; the series Balenciaga; Un amor, by Isabel Coixet; No voy a pedirle a nadie que me crea, by Fernando Frías; and Fácil, by Anna R. Costa.
