Can An Authors Organisation Help You Make A Living? IDFA Industry Talk 21 November 2016

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.
